September Actions:
  1. Let students know how to reach you if they need you outside of the course you are instructing.  Let them know that you will maintain constant contact with them to make sure they are getting what they need to understand what’s being taught (you may want to set a weekly schedule or predetermined way to check-in with them in a discrete manner).
  2. Discuss with teachers your plan to ensure students have what they need to stay on course with progress toward their IEP goals and objectives.
  3. Distribute & explain the importance of the ARD Teacher Input Forms to all staff who instruct any students who have ARD/IEP meetings scheduled in October (put a completion due date 2 wks prior to ARD). 
  4. Contact the SpEd Help desk: spedhelp@springisd.org with all upcoming ARD/IEP meetings to secure support from the IEP Specialists (clerk can complete this).
  5. Pull the ARD due by month report and determine which students need ARD/IEP meetings during the month of October. Discuss with IEP clerk and be sure to have these meetings scheduled 3 weeks in advance.
