Crookston Public Schools offers programs and services for students who have met special education eligibility in any of the 13 disability areas identified in Minnesota Rules Chapter 3525. Total Special Education System (TSES). Disability Categories. Early Childhood. Home/Private School. IEP Special Education Crookston Public Schools offers programs and services for students who have met special education eligibility in any of the 13 disability areas identified in Minnesota Rules Chapter 3525. Nonpublic and Inter-agency Referrals Special education instruction and services may be provided to students from birth until July 1 after the child with a disability becomes 21 years old, but will not extend beyond secondary school or its equivalent. Local health, education, and social service agencies must refer children under age five who are known to need or suspected of needing special instruction and services to the school district. A full range of education programs and services will be provided for children with a disability. Individual Education Plan Once a child is determined eligible for special education services through the evaluation process, an Individualized Evaluation Program/Plan (IEP) is developed. An IEP describes the special education and related services specifically designed to meet the needs of a child with a disability. It is developed at an IEP meeting with an IEP team. The IEP team consists of: parent (MR 3525.0700), IEP manager (MS 3523.0550), general education teacher, an administrator, and the student, when appropriate. In addition to the core group, membership will vary according to student needs. Other members of the IEP team may include: speech pathologist, occupational therapist, vision teacher, hearing teacher, school nurse, counselor, or any other person having knowledge or expertise regarding the child and his/her disabilities. An IEP meeting is held one time per year, more often if requested by a parent or teacher. The IEP is written for one year, with progress being reported as often as general education progress is reported. The method of progress reporting is determined at the IEP meeting by the IEP team. If you have any questions or concerns regarding special education, please contact the special services director.

Career Readiness Career Readiness is a process. Throughout a student's time at CHS, starting in 7th grade, they will complete different lessons, assessments, and experiences to explore and learn about the many career opportunities!

Getting to college can be stressful. You may think you need to have everything figured out before you pick a school and you may also be worried about the cost. Here are some steps to guide you along the journey. 9-12th Grade- Focus on your classes and your grades. All your grades accumulate for your cumulative GPA and credit totals. Your GPA can be an important factor on future opportunities, depending on what you want to do. Use your You Science Profile Results to explore your aptitudes, interests, and career matches or use the O*NET Online Website- https://www.onetonline.org when searching careers. Job Shadow- If or when you have an idea of a career you'd like to know more about. Contact someone in that field or at the business/organization to ask about getting a job shadow scheduled. This is where you go and meet with an individual in that career and spend time observing what they do or have a conversation about their education background, what they do on a daily basis, etc. Choosing a college- Spend time looking online for schools that ‘fit’ what you are looking for. Use this college checklist and comparison sheet (to the right and in google classroom). Once you have chosen a few schools you are interested in, make a list of the schools and when their application deadlines are. Visit the College- Once you’ve chosen some options for college, make arrangements to visit those schools. Do this by calling the admissions office and setting up a date and time. CHS also has a lot of college representatives come to the high school. If you are unable to visit the campus, take advantage of them coming to you. Paying for College- Talk with your student and or family about how you are going to pay for school. Will the student need to pay for school, will the family be able to contribute? Work and Save Money Search for Scholarships (See link to the right) Education Investment Accounts Completing FAFSA Help Use this guide to help you in your application process. Seniors- We recommend you apply by Christmas of your Senior year unless your school has an earlier deadline for applications. October is 'College Knowledge Month' in MN. Many colleges/universities in MN will waive their application fee during the month or period of time in October. Check the MN College Fee Waiver list in google classroom and to the right. Ready to Apply? Go to the website of the school you'd like to apply to. Click on Apply to begin the application. You may have to pay an application fee. If you have any questions about the fees, please talk to your School Counselor After you submit your application: (your application is not complete until the school has all the required materials listed on your application requirements for that school, call the admissions office if you have questions) Send your HS Transcript-Order your transcript through Parchment (see link to the right or on the homepage of the CHS website) Make sure you pay your application fee Send tests scores if needed. Not all colleges require the ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer exam. Check the application requirements. Sending Your ACT Score- Go to www.act.org , login to your account and request to send score. (If you have not created an account before you will need to create an account with your ACT ID that was on your ACT score report you received in the mail) Application Completed- Make a folder in your email for each school and organize the emails. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)- www.studentaid.gov Search for Scholarships- See the Paying for College page on the right menu above Accepting a school- Once you get a letter of acceptance, you will need to pay attention to the deadline for acceptance. A lot of schools let you wait until May 1 to accept. I would recommend the sooner the better, but make sure you think through your choice, and the financial situation. Send Transcript (again)- Send your transcript to your school of choice the end of Semester 2 so they receive your Final and Official Transcript. *If you took college classes, you will need to request your college transcript from the college your credits are from. Call the Admissions office on how to do this.

College Class Options Crookston High School offers college credit through three different options: 1. College in the High School (CIHS) 2. Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) 1. College In the High School CIHS Program Mission is for students to earn college and high school credit simultaneously, in the high school setting, while transitioning into a post-secondary mindset. Students learn time management, practice independent and critical thinking skills, shoulder a new levels of accountability, all while learning rigorous content. The College in the High School program is a dual enrollment partnership between Crookston High School and the University of Minnesota Crookston. 2. Postsecondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) Taking PSEO courses comes with a lot of responsibility. You are a college student, needing to communicate with your professor, keeping up with your assignments and grades. CHS can not communicate with your professors; therefore PSEO is 100% student responsibility. PSEO students should stay connected to CHS for any announcements etc. Students are able to take PSEO courses at a MN post-secondary institution offering PSEO classes if the student is at a Sophomore (limited options), Junior or Senior status, and meets admissions requirements of the institution. These courses are taken at the post-secondary institution of choice, and the courses are dual credit (counting toward High School diploma and College degree). CHS students do not pay tuition and fees. They are responsible for their own transportation. Classes offered is dependent on the institutions PSEO courses offered. Students must work closely with the school counselor to ensure high school graduation requirements are also met. Since PSEO is student responsibility, any failed PSEO classes could jeopardize graduation status. *In order to register for PSEO courses you must notify CHS of intent to participate in the PSEO program prior to May 31st for Fall semesters and October 1st for Spring semesters each school year.
