The school district has a child find or screening program to locate, identify, and evaluate all children with suspected disabilities who are residents of the school district including children attending private school, in the school district, and homeless children. Children are referred for a special education evaluation by school staff, parents, doctors, and other community service agencies. The School District of Somerset held our spring child find activity and had the opportunity to meet many of our new spartans! If you were not able to bring in your child that day and you have questions regarding your child’s development, please contact the School District of Somerset’s Director of Pupil Services, Abbiegail Bohatta at 715-247-4400 x575 or abohatta@somerset.k12.wi.us.

The Somerset School District is continuing to implement ALICE protocols within our campus, as a part of our Emergency Management plans and procedures. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown with Barricade, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. It is designed to provide staff and students options for how to best increase chances of survival in the event of an active shooter incident. Each building continues to review the ALICE protocols throughout the school year with students and staff in an age-appropriate manner. If you have further questions about Emergency Management within the Somerset School District, please contact Somerset School District Director of Pupil Services, Abbiegail Bohatta at 715-247-4400 x575 or abohatta@somerset.k12.wi.us.
