Dear Parents,
Welcome to the Poway Unified School District Special Education Department. We look forward to working with you to identify the best placement that will meet the educational needs of your child. It is important to note that the enrollment process in our district begins with verification of residency at your neighborhood school. If you are not aware of which school is in your neighborhood, you may call the Planning Department at (858) 679-2570 or go to the District web site (www.powayusd.com), click on the "Address Lookup" link and enter your home address.
All parents must complete a Residency Verification and Checklist form which will be signed and dated by a school official at your neighborhood school. Once residency is verified, the special education staff will be glad to meet with you to review all the pertinent information, including assessment and your child's Individualized Education Program (IEP) to determine the best placement.
Sincerely,
Melanie Black Theresa Kurtz
Director, Elementary Director, Secondary
