Special Education

The Hopkinton Public Schools seeks to identify all students in the district who may qualify for special education services. Students who are identified as eligible for special education services participate in programs designed to meet their individual needs. To learn about the law and the rights of students and parents under this law, please utilize the links to state and federal resources that appear on the left.

For questions about special education, or concerns about your child that you suspect may be related to a disability, contact your child's Principal or the Special Education Team Chairperson for your child's school.

Special Education is administered through the Office of Student Services.
