I want to remind you that it is expected that case managers will be required to spend their grade-level planning every Wednesday in the SPED workroom. There are too many tasks (Medicaid, IEP updates, completion of behavior scales, etc.) that are not getting done on time. There will be a sign-in sheet to complete per administration request.
- 3rd mod- Hall and Terry
- 4th mod. - Faulkner and Vidal
- 5th mod.- Johnson and Williams
Here is the sign-in sheet detailing what you worked on.
