Comparing school options in Pooler

Pooler is in Chatham County, where public schools are run by the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS). For a child age 3 to 5, the district's Preschool Intervention program offers free screenings through 912-395-1294. For a home-schooled or privately schooled student ages 3 to 21 who may have a disability, the Child Find contact is (912) 395-5583.

SCCPSS screens preschoolers several times a year. After a parent calls, the office mails a packet with a family history form and appointment directions, and the screening can cover vision, hearing, communication, and development. Children who need more testing go to the district's Play Based Assessment Center. If a child qualifies, preschool special education happens in the least restrictive setting, which may be the home, a daycare, a public school preschool program, or another community location. Your school assignment depends on your street address, so confirm it with SCCPSS.

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Pooler

What happens after I call SCCPSS Preschool Intervention?
The office schedules a screening and mails you a packet with a family history and directions for the appointment. Screening may include vision with a nurse or screener, hearing with a school-based audiologist, communication with a speech-language pathologist, and a developmental check by a preschool teacher. Results are shared with you. If more testing is needed, your child is scheduled at the Play Based Assessment Center.
Who decides whether my preschooler qualifies?
After the play-based assessment, SCCPSS holds a meeting with you and the assessment team to compare the results with eligibility criteria. If your child does not qualify, you get interventions to support growth at home. If your child does qualify, the team schedules a meeting to write an Individualized Education Program. Our IEP guide explains what that meeting covers.
My child attends a private school. Does SCCPSS Child Find still apply?
Yes. SCCPSS says Child Find covers children in private preschools and day-care centers, private school and home school students, migrant and homeless children, and any other child living in the district who may have a disability. Parents of a privately schooled or home-schooled student between three and twenty-one can call the department at (912) 395-5583 for next steps.
