Powhatan County Public Schools -

If you think that your child may have a disability and need special education services, you should contact your child's teacher or the Lead Teacher at the school your child attends. The referral process starts with a Child Study Committee meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to identify the recommended strategies to address your child's learning, behavior, communication or development. The committee may make a referral for evaluation for special education and related services at any time. 

Nomination Forms

This year, the Special Education Department will highlight students, staff, and parents who have supported our programs, instruction, and initiatives throughout the school year. Each month, beginning in January, staff members, parents, and students can nominate a “Shining Star.” Each Shining Star recipient will receive a visit from our department with a “Star Award” and will be featured at the Shining Stars Awards ceremony.

Our SEAC Committee will be hosting our “Shining Stars” Awards Ceremony on March 10, 2025-PHS Auditorium
