wow what a difference !

I just have to say how nice it is to be in a school environment where things are done properly......for the FIRST time in FIVE years of schooling.....I am getting progress reports from Erin's school !!

I NEVER EVER got one in her prior setting !!

I was in close contact with teachers and thought all was well.....but now that I am getting these on a regular basis in lieu of a report card ( which we've NEVER had and is frankly impossible at this point in time ) I am floored at how BAD the setting was where we were.....and I didn't even realize it !

I feel the need to say something to my town's special ed dept.....is it illegal to give no progress reports ? Is that one of those things mandated by " special ed laws" ? What do you all think ? Or do I just let it go and be happy about where I am and don't look back ?

yes you should have been getting progess reports on IEP goals...how else can it be monitored if it's working or not. We get ours every reporting period, so I think 4 times total a school year.

Don't know if I'd say anything to your town's spec ed dept but maybe to state school board.. that is who would monitor the districts and if they are following the IDEA laws.

Were progress reports in her IEP? If so and they were not doing it i'd be a hot momma and telling the school board!!

I'm so glad her new school is just right for you and Erin I love it when that happens.

If you want to fight the battle of no progress reports then yea, call them up and complain. if you just want to be thankful for where she's at now i'd just let it go and not indure the stress

I can so relate girl and I am sooooo HAPPY for you and Erin ;D

Just my thoughts but I would forget the battle with your district as they sound like they do what they do no matter what, you are done with them ;D Be happy and forget the stress

I agree with A~ if you feel the need to say anything I would contact your State Board.
