Diverse Learners

Parents and Guardians,

As we move into the first quarter of nybrid & remote learning we want to share some key information concerning remote instruction and services. We understand that for many students, not attending school in their physical school building is difficult, but this may be especially so for our students with disabilities.

We are committed to communicating with you about your child’s needs in order to ensure success in their remote learning environment through the rest of this school year. Keeping in mind that parents and staff may be caring for others and/or battling illness themselves, flexibility is important. We are committed to serving all students according to their individual needs, and we will maintain that commitment.

Key Facts About Remote Instruction, Services, and Remote Learning Plans:

• I will be contacting all parents to develop a "Special Education Remote Learning Plan" for your child based on their Individualized Education Program (IEP)/504, if I have not already.

• Can be adjusted over time, based on what teachers, related-service providers, families, and students learn through this experience, and after consultation with you. The purpose of the consultation is to discuss what your child needs in order to engage in remote instruction (including any modifications) and how services will be provided.

• Will make sure your child is receiving the services and support they need, while also affording you and your family any flexibility you may need during this difficult time.

• IEP meetings will continue and will be conducted by phone or via Zoom. Assessments may be conducted remotely where appropriate.

• The delivery of remote related services such as speech, occupational therapy, social work, and nursing consultations will be continuing via video (Zoom) and phone.

• Attendance is very important to ensure students are receiving the instruction and learning daily. Students will be required to log on everyday. Click here to access scholar schedules.
