Emergency Notification
The CSD employs the Connect™5 service, a school-to-parent
communications vehicle. Connect™5 enables schools to send
periodic and personalized voice, email and text messages to
parents within minutes of a school closing or other situation
that would require prompt notification. The Connect™5
service complements other communication practices including
announcements on local radio and TV stations, CITV
(Channel 28), the CSD email news list, phone message and
website (www.colonialsd.org). The CSD’s radio identification
number for school closings is 305. The emergency closing
number for the Central Montco Technical High School is 329.
In the event of an emergency closing, parents should explain
to their children where they should go if no one will be home.

Non-Discrimination Statement
The Colonial School District (CSD) is an equal
opportunity education institution and will not discriminate
on the basis of age, race, color, national origin, gender, sexual
orientation or disability and/or handicap in its admissions
procedures, educational programs, services, activities or
employment practices as required by Title VI, Title IX,
Section 504 and/or any applicable federal statute.
The CSD will assist students who have Limited English
Proficiency to participate in all programs, services and
activities.
For information regarding civil rights, admissions,
grievance procedures, bilingual education and accessibility
of programs, services, activities and facilities that are usable
by persons with disabilities, contact the Director of Pupil
Services and Special Education, Colonial School District,
230 Flourtown Road, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462.
Special Education Programs for Eligible or Protected Handicapped Students
The U.S. Congress enacted the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to assure that all children
with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education
designed to meet their unique needs in the least restrictive
environment. In accordance with this law and Pennsylvania
School Code (Chapter 14), Colonial School District
provides, without cost to parents, screenings and evaluations,
appropriate programs and services to all students thought to
be exceptional and in need of specially designed instruction
and related services. Services are provided for the full range
of disabilities listed below:
• Autism (including Pervasive Developmental
Disorder)
• Deaf-Blindness
• Deafness/Hearing Impaired
• Emotional Disturbance
• Hearing Impairment
• Mental Retardation
• Multiple Disabilities
• Orthopedic Impairment
• Other Health Impairments
• Specific Learning Disability
• Speech or Language Impairment
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Visual Impairment including Blindness
Every effort is made to serve students at their home
schools using an inclusive approach toward instructional
delivery. For those children whose educational needs
cannot be met in a District program, placements are made
in Montgomery County Intermediate Unit classes or
alternative/approved private schools.
Special education instruction is aligned with the
Pennsylvania Academic Standards, and students fully
participate, with testing accommodations when appropriate,
in all District and state-wide assessment programs. A guiding
principle in the delivery of instruction to students with
special needs is that standards-based instruction provides
a solid foundation for all students to master the academic
content, skills and competencies for lifelong learning,
independence and professional growth. Students participate
in all school activities including vocational education
programs which may be provided through the Central
Montgomery Technical High School, community based
programs or through the Montgomery County Intermediate
Unit.
Eligibility for Special Education Services
The Colonial School District conducts ongoing ChildFind activities for the purpose of identifying students who
may be in need of special education and related services.
Additionally, teachers who suspect a child may need services
can make a referral to the Student Support or Child Study
Team to explore regular education supports and classroom
modifications. Multidisciplinary evaluations (MDE) follow
for those not making sufficient progress with those supports.
All information gathered under this process is confidential
and may be available to the parent on request.
Parents can also request an evaluation regardless of
whether their child attends public, private or parochial
school. Parents who have concerns about the development
of their three to five year old child can call the Montgomery
County Intermediate Unit Early Intervention Office at 610539-8500 to request a screening or an evaluation.
For further information on the screening, evaluation
procedures and provision of services to exceptional students,
parents can contact the Supervisors of Special Education at
610-834-1670.
Gifted Services
In compliance with Pennsylvania School Code (Chapter
16), services designed to meet the unique needs of gifted
students are provided. Students are identified individually
based on guidelines and regulations embodied in state
law under Chapter 16. Students who possess superior
intelligence scores or who meet the multiple eligibility criteria
indicating gifted ability by the Gifted Multidisciplinary
Team are provided with a program of specially designed
instruction to meet the outstanding intellectual and creative
abilities of the student. Gifted instructional services for
eligible students are delineated on a Gifted Individualized

District Information
Student Records - Directory Information Notice
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a
federal law, requires that the Colonial School District (CSD),
with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to
the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your
child’s education records. However, the CSD may disclose
appropriately designated “directory information” without
written consent, unless you have advised the District to the
contrary in accordance with District procedures. The primary
purpose of directory information is to allow the CSD to include
this type of information from your child’s education records in
certain school publications. Examples include:
• A playbill, showing your child’s role in a drama
production;
• The annual yearbook;
• Honor roll or other recognition lists;
• Graduation programs and
• Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling,
showing weight and height of team members.
Directory information, which is information that is generally
not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released,
can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent’s
prior written consent. Outside organizations include, but are not
limited to, companies that manufacture class rings or publish
yearbooks. In addition, two federal laws require local educational
agencies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide military
recruiters, upon request, with three directory information
categories – names, addresses and telephone listings – unless
parents have advised the LEA that they do not want their child’s
information disclosed without their prior written consent.1
If you do not want the CSD to disclose directory
information from your child’s education records without your
prior written consent, you must notify the principal of your
child’s school in writing by September 30, 2012 or
within 10 days of entry into the District. The CSD has
designated the following information as directory information:
• Student’s name.
• Participation in officially recognized activities and sports.
• Address.
• Telephone listing.
• Weight and height of members of athletic teams.
• Electronic mail address.
• Photograph.
• Degrees, honors and awards received.
• Date and place of birth.
• Major field of study.
• Dates of attendance.

Special Education continued from page 1
Education Plan and address areas of demonstrated gifted
achievement. The Colonial School District conducts
screenings and evaluations to identify students who are
gifted and in need of specially designed instruction.
Universal screening of all students takes place in second
grade. For older students, teachers may make individual
recommendations for screening of students showing
high academic potential and a need for enrichment
instruction. Parents may also make requests to their
child’s guidance counselor for an individual screening or
evaluation.
For further information on the evaluation
procedures and provision of services to mentally gifted
students, parents can contact the Supervisors of Special
Education at 610-834-1670.
Services for Protected
Handicapped Students
In compliance with state law (Chapter 15) and
federal law (Section 504), Colonial School District
provides services, related aids and/or reasonable
accommodations needed to provide equal opportunity
to participate in and benefit from the school program
and extracurricular activities. In order to qualify, a
student must have a physical or mental disability which
substantially limits a major life activity. If an evaluation
and subsequent parent/school team determine that a
child is eligible, a service agreement noting reasonable
accommodations in regular education is developed.
These services are distinct from those applicable to
students in special education.
For further information on the evaluation
procedures and provision of services to protected
handicapped students, parents can contact the Director
of Pupil Services and Special Education at 610-834-1670.
Confidentiality: All information gathered about your
child is subject to the confidentiality provisions contained
in federal and state law. The District has policies
and procedures in effect governing the collection,
maintenance, destruction and disclosure to third parties
of this information. For information about these
policies and procedures, as well as rights pertaining to
confidentiality and access to educational records, you
may contact, in writing, the Supervisors of Special
Education or any building principal.
