Admissions

If you are a school district partner, therapist or educational consultant for a family with a boy who has an IEP, we know you are looking for the right placement.

If you are a family member or parent of a boy who struggles, we know you’ve experienced the anguish of knowing your child isn’t getting what he needs—and at a time in his life where school is the most important thing.

We understand this. That’s why the first part of our admissions process is a phone call. We want to hear what you’ve experienced, and we want to start getting to know your child.

We want to know what his strengths are, what his history is, and what social, emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges he may be struggling with. We want to talk with you about what we do at Plumfield and explore what might be possible.

We champion and encourage.

Our Beliefs

We start every admission with a referral and a phone call. From here, our Social Worker will ask for any documentation you have on things like history, current functioning and your student’s specific needs.

This might include:

Your student’s history (family, mental health, medical, behavioral)
Psychological assessments (including cognitive evaluations)
School records (which many include testing, assessments, 504 plans or IEP’s)
Psychiatric assessments
History of medications

We might also want to talk with:

Family members
Knowledgeable teachers
Therapists and other involved people.

The point here is that we want to get a full picture of your student, so that we can anticipate his needs and assess whether we can build a program to meet them.

After this first phase of exploration, we typically invite the student and family to tour our school and meet our staff and students. Sometimes, we invite students to shadow for a day if it might support their transition here.
