Special Education Enrollment

Welcome to Student Services Enrollment!

Please follow the enrollment directions below if your student falls into one of these groups:

ECSE transportation: Your 3- or 4-year-old receives services through HDESD and needs district transportation.
Incoming kindergarten student: Your student currently receives special education services, will be age 5, and will begin kindergarten next fall.
Homeschooled or private-school student: You are requesting a special education evaluation for a student who is homeschooled or attends a private school.

Completing the enrollment process allows the district to arrange applicable services, supports, transportation, or evaluation activities.
