Good Morning,
Although the snow is flying and the Holiday music is playing, I want to take an opportunity to guide us in some preplanning for the upcoming summer. As you may know, the summer school program funded through general education funds will not be in place this coming summer. I anticipate this will in turn impact requests for extended school year services for students with IEPs. As you may remember, extended school year services are considered through the IEP team process. The data needed to help with that consideration is the progress monitoring (charting) of IEP goal areas. I would encourage teachers to gather progress monitoring data after the Holiday break to help with any requests that may come this upcoming spring. Further information is available on the Grant Wood website at:

May you all have a well deserved restful Holiday break and I look forward to working with you in the upcoming year!
Take care,
Julie
Julie,
ReplyDeleteWill there be a cut back on the amount of student support services teachers as well for summer school?
