[quote=Anonymous]My kids go to one of the lesser regarded middle schools and here is my experience. If your kid's grade drops below a C, the teacher will actively pursue your child for retakes and will remind them of homework. If your kid never drops below a C, you have to be proactive. Find out each teachers retake policies and their practices for handing out study guides. Monitor Edline so you can remind your son to go in for retakes. If need be, email the teacher about specific grades and assignments. Broker the time that a retake will be given. And, most important if your child is in seventh grade, work with your son on using Edline and developing better student skills. HS is much harder to navigate and unless your son takes resource or has a case manager, it's practically impossible to get information.

One last suggestion. All schools offer cotaught classes for gen ed classes. The classes are smaller and are inclusion classes so it is a mix of kids with IEPs and non-special needs kids. If your kid is falling through the cracks and not doing as well as he could be, you might want to consider this. I made the request for both of my kids and they perform at a much higher level than when in a regular classroom. [/quote]
