Grasso Tech will make every effort to understand your child as a learner and as an individual. We are excited to learn all we can about what will make your child successful.
An important part of that process includes a review of your child’s Special Education or 504 records as well as our participation in one of your child’s PPT or 504 meetings.
You may have already had either a PPT or a 504 meeting for your child in which one of our school representatives participated and was able to learn about your child’s programming.
If this has not yet occurred, the following process will be followed:
Records will be requested from the school in which your child is presently enrolled. This may have already occurred.
If your child currently has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan, a Planning and Placement Team (PPT) or 504 meeting will take place once your child’s records are received to determine what special education and/or related aids and services your child will need within our learning environment.
In the event that a formal PPT meeting or 504 meeting is not able to be held by your child’s school, an information gathering meeting will be held by either your child’s school or Grasso Tech.
Please note that, in order to ensure appropriate programming is in place for your child, either a PPT, 504 meeting or information gathering meeting must occur before enrollment at Grasso Tech.
