From Student Services:
I hope everyone had a great first cycle!
Thank you for your patience with schedule changes as we get to know our new students and adjust to their needs. Our guidance counselors work hard to listen to everyone's concerns in order to make the best moves for our students. They appreciate your flexibility and willingness to adapt to ensure our students are all being educated in the right setting.
Freshman IEP's are in Power School Special Education (PSSE) as an attachment. All plans should be entered into PSSE by the end of next week. Please reach out to me or a special education liaison if you have any questions or concerns about a particular student. The liaison list is located in the opening day packet/drive.
Please remember that when you view an IEP in Power School Special Ed. (PSSE) to look for the "ACTIVE' IEP that is 'FINAL" . I'm happy to stop by a PLC and/or show you in person how to navigate the documents page if you need assistance.
Some of you may have already been invited by Lisa McNamara to a Team meeting. When you receive a Google invite, check to see if you are 'DESIGNATED'. This means you are on the attendance sheet and must attend. Next, complete the Educational Assessment B form as soon as possible. This form is a DESE mandated form and is an important part of the meeting. Your input on how the student is doing in your class if vital! Remember the form can be requested by a parent and is read aloud at the meeting. I'd be happy to stop by a PLC and/or meet with you to review the form in more detail.
I can't thank you enough for your professionalism and kindness towards our new students and parents as we kick off another school year. Student Services continues to receive positive feedback from parents and students about how they love our school! Cheers to you!
