Young Adults Moving Forward- Week 6
Weekly Monday Morning Memo
Due Process Updates
- All documents that need to be scanned should be put directly into the DP Room. If you do not have a key, you can put it in the DP mailbox in the main office, but note that it may take longer to make it upstairs. Please be mindful of what you choose to put into the DP file. Things that are needed include anything with a signature, anything that is not already in EdPlan (and won't be scanned), but keep anything superfluous in your own file.
- There continue to be many questions and errors when creating eval plans. Everyone is required to watch the short instructional videos on EdPlan. They can be found by clicking on "EdPlan Help" at the left side of EdPlan after logging in. You will be responsible for the information in these videos.
- Reminder: Anything that requires a signature (PWNs, etc.) for families that speak a language other than English need to be offered to have the document translated. If the do not want it translated, they must sign a Waiver. The signed Waiver should be turned in to Fay to be scanned. If they want the document translated, there is a procedure and we are to give the translator an additional week to get it done.
- Don't forget to accept proposed IEPs and OOD Verifications. EdPlan does not recognize the new date until this they've been accepted. Please remember to do so as soon as you get a signature OR after 14 calendar days (implied consent).
- You do NOT need to add teachers to eval plans who hold the correct licensure. Cindy Atsatt said that they need only be on the team and be present for all meetings.
Go Pink- Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Annual screening mammograms are the best way to detect breast cancer in its earliest, most curable stages. Yet many women put off getting a mammogram due to busy schedules or inconvenience. At Park Nicollet Jane Brattain Breast Center, we are committed to making mammograms more convenient for women. Our mobile mammography unit, Mammo a-go-go, brings the best in screening services to you in a tranquil, spa-on-wheels environment.
On-site mobile mammography is available for employees and spouses. Appointments only take 15 minutes and are a covered preventive benefit under the Affordable Care Act.
