Frontline/eSped: Electronically send the GenEd teacher bundle (document share) to all general education, special education,             and homebound teachers who instruct the students you case manage.

Introduce yourself to the students you case manage 

Send Letter home to parents (Spanish Version) may use email or other virtual means) introducing yourself, your background,             and what your role is in ensuring that their child is receiving the services outlined in the student’s IEP (document date sent                home & how letter was sent). Include in the letter the last annual ARD date and that the next annual ARD will take place on                or before that date. This letter may also include any upcoming important dates for the next month, semester, or year.  Please             include letters to any students receiving homebound services as well.

Communicate with parents: introduce yourself as the case manager (explain as needed), provide information regarding meet             the teacher night and encourage them to come (plan to send home information from meet the teacher night for those parents             who don't attend), include information on any scheduled beginning of the year assessments that are taking place in August                and September (BOY Circle Screener, DRA, MAP) and let parents know that the screeners are used to get baseline data                    which helps teachers to know student strengths and weaknesses to determine where to begin instruction.

Verify that all teachers have signed for each student's IEP documents through Frontline eSped and print the signature log to             submit with the BOY Spreadsheet. GenEd teachers are responsible for maintaining STEP binders and should include these                documents in their binders.
