From Mrs. Cristan
If you have a 504 student that is struggling, please document your interventions, accommodations that you are trying, and/or the success level of the current 504 accommodations (if there are any) in DMAC. Please let the parent and me know.
An RTI meeting is not necessay for a 504 student. A 504 meeting needs to be set up if there are any concerns or updated accommodations/interventions needed.
RTI committee meetings take place when 504 or Sped are NOT in place for a student; RTI committees usually determine whether a 504 evaluation or Sped. referral is needed after RTI measures have been tried and proven unsuccessful.
Keeping the parents in the loop on how the 504 accommodations are working is key.
If you believe, have evidence, that a student's 504 accommodations are not successful and you suspect a possible learning disability or Dyslexia, a 504 meeting is conducted to make the necessary referral w parent agreement.
From Mrs. Hoover
From Mrs. Villarreal
Teachers, please remember to complete the testing accommodation page in DMAC for those students receiving RtI. You can find this once you are in the student’s plan, on the left side. It is labeled “Forms”. Remember, it has to be an accommodation that the student is using and is being successful with it. Print this form and give it to Mrs. Hoover. Please keep in mind, conferences are NOT RtI meetings. An administrator must be present for it to be considered an RtI meeting.
Just a reminder that you can also make CPS reports if you have a concern regarding a student. Reports can be made by calling 1-800-252-5400 or at www.dfps.state.tx.us. Please be ready to answer questions regarding the student’s address and phone number as well as who lives in the home.
