Q: When do I need to complete Quarterly Progress Reports?
A: Quarterly progress reports need to be completed at the same time as the regular report card is completed every quarter. In addition, whenever you hold the IEP annual review, progress reports must be completely up-to-date for the old goals and objectives prior to sending them to the District Office.
Q: How do I complete the Summary of Service matrix
A: The Summary of Services matrix reflects the special education and related services that a student requires as part of their IEP. The far left column lists the services being provided. The next column shows the location of services— where the services will be provided. Next are the frequency and duration of the services. Then, the projected start and end dates are listed. Next is the provider of the services. The provider can be a combination of adults. There is a drop down menu to assist you. Finally are the columns for who will provide supervision to those delivering the services (if not the special education teacher) and how often supervision should occur.
The number of minutes will calculate at the bottom of the page. If the calculation is not accurate, make sure there is nothing typed in the override minutes field.
**The Summary of Services page should not double for the student’s school schedule. The content listed in special education and related services column should be services that are provided because they are needs addressed in the IEP, not because it’s a class that the student is taking.
Q: How do I know whether to request a special education file for a new student?
A: Pupil Services recommends that schools always request special education files for new students. It is common for parents to complete the registration form and to overlook or misinterpret the questions regarding special services. If schools can be in the habit of always requesting all possible files, then new students will be less likely to start school in the KPBSD without the needed services.
