If you have an IEP (individualized education plan) you are guaranteed to have instruction at your level. You are guaranteed access to the curriculum. This is all under a law that we call FAPE (or, free and appropriate public education). It simply states that everyone, regardless of disability or ability has the right to be taught. Pretty cool, eh? In having that plan you also get trimester updates as to the progress of the goals and objectives. Kinda like a report card.
This year I was particularly interested in the progress of my students. Maybe it was because it is our second year in our building and things seem to be settled down. Maybe it is because I have Muriel Lorentz, my instructional assistant, who I rely on to give my students added instruction. Maybe it is because I love your kids and I want to see them succeed!
I was overjoyed and proud when I wrote those progress reports. I did the testing, the analyzing and then the writing. ALL of my students have made progress toward their goals! ALL! Some have even met many of their objectives and goals! These kids have worked hard. In some instances they have worked harder than other kids.
So, when you look in your child's folder for their report card and you don't see their progress report please know:
I will send them to you in January! Yep, I'm late. I have written most of them but printing them out and getting them to you was thwarted by unforeseen circumstances. With that being said, feel free to email me over break and I will email you a copy or I will send them home the first week back!
Thank you for allowing me to teach your kids. Have a Fabulous Winter Break!
Love,
Niki
