Volunteer of the Year
RtI Documentation: Please read all
A parent sued a school in California years ago, and after several repeals, made it's way to the 9th Circuit, a federal court one step away from the Supreme Court. In September 2014, the 9th Circuit ruled in favor of the family, saying that because they were not notified frequently, the child was not given a FAPE. (If you are a school law nerd, like me, and would like to read the 43-page report, here is the link. Anyone? Anyone?)
What does that mean for you? NO, you will not be sending home documentation regarding Tier 1 to parents each week. You WILL need to meet with parents prior to moving into Tier 2. When in Tier 2, you will progress monitor those students weekly. You should send home the reports from progress monitoring weekly, as well.
If a student is in the queue to be tested for SPED, you still must complete the weekly Tier documentation until they are officially in the special education program.
Fabulous February Friday O Fun!
Like every week, participation is optional, but the more the merrier!
On Friday, Feb. 20, bring a wrapped gift. Something fun, something cheap (no more than $5), something that can be opened in front of kids (*cough*). Set the gifty outside of your door, showing that you would like to participate. Switch, steal, exchange, etc. throughout the day. At 2:00, we will announce that it's time to reveal your surprise! Open it up and enjoy!
Remember: don't open until 2:00. No hiding of said gifts. Feel free to switcheroo as much as you like!
