Maplehill School New Student Referral Form

Parents, guardians, case workers, special educators, school districts or others may contact Maplehill School to discuss placement and program options for a student. In all cases, Maplehill School will refer direct inquiries back to the student’s home school district as a means to discuss potential enrollment.

NEXT STEPS:

Initial Information Exchange
Once a referral form has been received, a representative of Maplehill School and a representative of the applicant’s sending school will discuss the student's needs and the school’s capacity to meet those needs. If it is determined that our program may be a good fit for the student, a records request will be be submitted to the sending school.

2.

Introductory Tour
Student and selected student representatives (parent/s, caregiver/s, school official, state agency, etc.) tour Maplehill School campuses and meet members of the faculty. The tour includes a sit-down meeting to discuss specific characteristics of the student’s needs and how Maplehill School might address those needs, as well as student interests and goals. Moving forward, student records are reviewed. 

3.

Visit Day and Orientation
After a placement determination has been made the student attends school a full day, taking part in regular school activities. The Visit Day includes a 1:1 review of the Maplehill School Student Handbook to become aware of day to day procedures and expectations with the campus Dean of students .The student may be invited back to attend school regularly for one month as an enrolled student. After this one-month period, Maplehill School and the student's team will meet and assess the fit of the student with the program.
