Special Education

Supporting Every Student's Success

At Harpursville Central School District, we are dedicated to providing a learning environment where every student can succeed—no matter their learning style, academic needs, or social-emotional needs.

Our schools implement a Multi-Tiered System of Supports – Integrated (MTSS-I)—a proactive, data-driven framework designed to identify and support students who may need extra help.

  • MTSS-I provides academic and behavioral interventions tailored to individual needs.

  • Each school has a student support team that collaborates with teachers and families.

  • For many students, MTSS-I is all the support they need to thrive.

MTSS-I ensures that every child receives the right support at the right time.

 When students are determined to have a disability, we offer a comprehensive range of Special Education programs for students from ages 3 to 21, supported by:

  • Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) for ages 3–5

  • Committee on Special Education (CSE) for ages 5–21

Our services are:

  • Delivered in the least restrictive environment that meets the student’s needs

  • Designed to keep students engaged in the general education setting whenever possible

  • Available through on-campus and off-campus placements, depending on need

Partnering with Families

Families play a vital role in student success. We encourage all parents and guardians to:

  • Attend CPSE or CSE meetings

  • Communicate regularly with their child’s teacher and support team

  • Ask questions and stay engaged in the support process

Together, we create a support network that helps students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

If you have concerns about your child’s progress or think additional support may be needed:

➡️ Start by contacting your child’s school directly.
They will help guide you through next steps and available services.
