South Bergen Jointure Commission

WELCOME TO THE SBJC
It is the mission of the SBJC to provide a supportive and challenging environment in order for our students to work towards unlocking their full potential.

We provide special education services for children in Autism, Emotional Regulation Impairment, and Multiply Disabled programs, ages three through twenty-one. Child Study Team members (of both member and non-member districts) with an interest in sending a student to the SBJC will first complete our CST Intake Request Form. The Admission Team will review the Intake Request Form and contact this student’s child study team members to request additional materials and records (e.g., current Individualized Education Program, progress reports, and evaluations). This information will be placed for the appropriate Building Principals to access. The Building Principal will review all materials to determine if there is a placement within the South Bergen Jointure Commission that would benefit the student socially, emotionally, and academically. If the SBJC Admissions Team determines that there is an appropriate placement within our district, the prospective student, his/her parent(s)/guardian(s), and the case manager will be contacted to schedule an intake visit. Following this event, a placement decision will be determined by the SBJC administrator, who will notify the child’s CST case manager.
