Received & Understand IEP Acknowledgment

Virtual guidelines while in remote learning setting:

• Send a separate email to each staff person that needs a copy of the IEP with the pdf copy of the IEP attached containing the following:

  • Please see attached for Student Name's IEP. After you read it, please let me know if you have any questions, including how to provide any accommodations and modifications. Once you understand, please reply:

"I have received a copy of Student Name's Individualized Education Plan. I understand it is my responsibility to implement the Individualized Education Plan as written and I will keep the information confidential."

This will serve as your acknowledgment form.

• Once the teacher responds, save the email by pressing print then save as PDF.

• Save the PDF onto your computer in a folder

• Do not send to MIS clerks until told otherwise

Click on the document below to open the acknowledgment. Click the download icon on the far right (down arrow with a line under it). Click Save File. Open the file from your downloads (or wherever you saved it). You should now have access to a fillable pdf version of the document.

As the case manager, you will enter Student Name, Date of Birth and check either IEP or Amendment and enter the date of the IEP or Amendment. After giving the staff member a copy of the IEP, reviewing the IEP, and answering any questions, ask the staff member to check the "received" box, check the "understand" box, sign, print name, position, and date.

After obtaining the signatures, scan and email the Received and Understand Acknowledgment to the MIS Data Assistant for your cluster. When you email the Received and Understand IEP Acknowledgment to the MIS Data Assistant you need to scan each student separately to allow for the acknowledgment to be directly linked to the student's master electronic file. You can send one email and attach each student's acknowledgment separately. For example, one email can include 5 attachments (one for each student). Keep the original document in the student's IEP working file in your building. You will ask appropriate staff to sign the Received and Understand Acknowledgment for every annual review and amendment.
