- My child receives Special Education services. How do those services continue?
For both speech (192 services) students and Individualized Service Plan (ISP/407) services, students continue to receive services.
Speech students receive services with Mrs. Weller once a week via emailed practice lessons and teleconferencing.
ISP/407 students receive services with Mrs. Kingsley in regular scheduled, small group video conferencing classes each week for the areas that the student qualifies. Also, Mrs. Kingsley has access as a teacher to the regular education teacher’s Google Classroom assignments so she can follow along and support instruction for our special education students.
Students must participate in these offerings. These services are very important!
