Did anyone in self-contained find out anything?

Do you know what Hearst grades? Principal sent a note today that not all grades would have in-person classes because of how small the school is, but didn’t say which grades.

Actually, it was “because of staff availability” and I also assume it’s because at grades have only two classes.

We haven't received notification and are quite heartbroken. My DD has a very extensive IEP so I was hoping she would be offered a seat.

What school? I’d be surprised if SWS is the only school that hasn’t been notified yet.

I am sorry. If we hadn't got a spot I was going to start private tutoring - is that an option, I can't feel happy about my spot knowing so many children need it as much or more than mine and yet for no reason at all get nothing. Why no hybrid?!

My job is here but if it wasn't I'd consider moving.

We are in the same situation (Murch). I can't figure out how DC missed out on a spot given the school's priority group profile and the profile of our kid.

Very torn because I think DC would benefit from in person learning, but not because of DC's IEP, but because most kids would benefit. None of DC's friends have an IEP and DC does not want the spot. Really didn't think she'd get the offer since her accommodations virtually are fine and I thought other kids were really struggling.

Ugh.

I believe all IEPs are ranked the same, at least according to my Principal.

They are. It doesn’t matter if there’s 15 minutes of 15 hours on an IEP. If a kid had an iep on 10/5, they get preference but I also learned there is no preference among groups- all groups hold the same weight. I also have students with an IEP who are rocking DL and some who have a 504 who are drowning. I wish they let the schools make this choice, but understand that opens a can of worms.

I would be on the phone on Monday asking that question to the coordinator of special education at Murch. How can they say that they are providing FAPE to your child when most children at Murch with IEPs will be in person and your child will not be.

Their lottery was delayed or at least notice won’t be sent until next week.

Also their cap is 50% so only half the students will get a spot. I don't know how they determine this....

If their in self-contained I feel all kids equally need in person. I didn't get any email, this is so stressful.

EVERYTHING should have been on hold till they figure out how to get these kids back in person. In September.

I have a kid in an under-enrolled self-contained who will most likely get a spot, and didn't get any email either, so there's hope. Hang in there!
