The Cheltenham School District is dedicated to access for all students. During this transition to distance learning, students with IEPs, GIEPs, and 504s will continue to receive the supports and services outlined in these plans, as possible. Case managers will continue to work with general education teachers on accommodations and modifications to assignments. Additionally, as appropriate, staff will also provide instruction in areas identified in the IEP and/or GIEP. Your student(s) may be included in additional “classrooms” beyond their classes. The case manager will be able to clarify the specific expectations for the “homeroom activities” and how they relate to your child.
Related Services such as Speech, Occupational Therapy, Behavioral Consultation, Counseling, Social Skills, Physical Therapy, etc. may be provided through a teletherapy approach. This teletherapy may occur through the Zoom platform. Families will not need to create an account inorder to participate. However, you may register via the Zoom link. We have included a link to show families how to join a zoom meeting. Support with Evaluation, Re-evaluation, and IEP meetings will be held virtually. The case manager will contact families and IEP team members to schedule a time for the meeting. Meetings will be held via Zoom. A meeting may be scheduled to review changes to the IEP related to the extended closure. Each level has identified preferred times to hold IEPs, however, IEP teams will continue to make an effort to hold meetings that reasonably accommodate parent schedules.
