Child Find
CHILD FIND
Child Find is an opportunity to have your child screened and evaluated for special education eligibility. In addition to referrals through a child's school, Child Find is also offered to other families within the district, including:
- Parents of preschool and school aged children who reside in the district, but are not enrolled (typically preschool and pre-K)
- Parents who reside in the district and are homeschooling
- Parents of children who are enrolled in a State Approved Private school located within the Fife School District boundary
- Children and students experiencing homelessness who are sheltered within the boundary
If you are a resident of Fife School District, but have enrolled your child in a private school outside the district boundary, please contact the district where the private school is located to request Child Find services. Your private school principal or director may assist you with this contact.
To learn more about Child Find, you may contact your neighborhood school that serves other children in the same age range as your child. If you are unsure which school to contact, feel free to contact the Special Education Department for assistance at (253) 517-1030.
