About Us :

St. Helens School District and the Northwest Regional Education Service District would like assistance in locating children from birth to age 21 with a disability who have not graduated from high school and are currently not attending or receiving other special services from public schools. Oregon and federal laws mandate educational services for children with disabilities. The Northwest Regional ESD provides educational services for eligible children from birth to kindergarten. Local school districts offer educational programs and services for eligible children from kindergarten through high school. Services provided are appropriate to each child's disability. Parents, guardians or others who know a child age five through 21 with a disability who is currently not receiving educational services can contact Jeri Deady, Director of Special Education, at the St. Helens School District Office (503) 366-7230. For children from birth to age five with disabilities, contact the Northwest Regional ESD at (503) 614-1446.
