When developing this Student & Parent Handbook, careful consideration was given to the overall structure and organization. Because Spaulding Academy & Family Services is governed by a number of state agencies which each outline different requirements based on the designation of the individual student, we elected to organize information based on these directives. Therefore, this handbook details not only Spaulding Academy & Family Services’ general procedures and policies but also contains dedicated sections for the Academic, Residential and Community-Based Programs.
