Re-evaluation Guide

Meeting Overview

The Individualized Education Program (IEP) team will:

• Discuss what is known about your child from school records. This could include attendance, work samples, local/state assessment data, medical/health information, discipline reports, and progress on IEP goals.
• Discuss any evaluations or reports that you have shared.
• Discuss the results of current classroom assessments. This could include unit tests, common grade-level tests, etc.
• Discuss observations from school staff related to your child’s performance in school. This could include both academic (i.e. math, reading, etc) and non-academic activities (i.e. lunch, recess, etc.) and/or information from others who have knowledge of your child.
• Discuss any other information reviewed from other sources (i.e. information related to virtual instruction or suspensions, etc.)
• Then, the team will determine whether additional data (if any) are needed.
