LOL!! As if there are actually textbooks and workbooks.

OP you have to reach out and ask the teacher for the materials and lessons. You may also just need to hire a tutor.

Next year write into the IEP that you get access to the curricular materials.

I can’t imagine a teacher being able to do that. That’s asking a lot!

Look, if schools make the decision to get rid of textbooks AND homework, then the only way parents can ensure their child is learning is by the teacher sending the assignments.

Basically, the school is crowded and understaffed. So I'm trying to help her by finding out what they are teaching and going over it with her. She is very shy, quiet and inattentive- but teacher does not seem to realize it. Anyway, what is the best way to find out what's going on and to help her stay on top of her schoolwork? Also, can teacher tell when you look in ParentVue?

Teachers probably don't realize it because they spend 95% of their time focusing on the bottom 10%-15% of the kids with serious behviral issues and don't have time to get to know your kid let alone teach them.
