Special Education

Dillingham City School District

 

Special Education
The office of the Special Education Department is responsible for provision of services to children age 3-21 who possess disabilities. Specialized services are provided through the employment of over 6 special education teachers and itinerant specialists in more than 100 special education programs.

Project Child Find
Project Child Find includes a screening to identify any educational or physical needs, which must be addressed to enable the child to fully benefit from an educational program. Children with disabilities may have such needs, which can be addressed though the District’s Student Support Services. Child Find screenings are a joint effort by the Dillingham City School District and the Bristol Bay Native Association HeadStart.

Moving to the Dillingham School District
If you are still living out of state please call and talk the Director of Special Education 907.842.6711. If you have already relocated please bring a copy of your child's IEP to the District Office.
