[quote=Anonymous]I did this 2 years ago in FCPS.  In our case, the MS Special Ed Chair was there but she did not contribute to the development of the goals.  The 6th grade team was familiar with the 7th grade requirements and, nothing my DS's strengths/weaknesses, were able to develop appropriate goals (with input from me and my advocate, of course).  The MS representative was very helpful in explaining what to expect regarding MS orientation (that they do for all students) as well as the schedule, intervention time, counselors and a 'Strategies for Success' class which aids students with organization/study challenges regardless of their IEP/504 status.  The MS rep also discussed the team taught classes and, along with the rest of the team, helped make determinations whether regular, team taught or self contained was the better choice.  The MS rep also arranged for DS to have a tour of the school prior to the regular orientation and got us a 20 minute meeting with all his teachers.  We found all of his classrooms and he practiced opening his locker a few times as well.  She did an awesome job of getting him an easily remembered locker combination - which was the same combo for his gym locker.  It made the transition much, much easier - much better than I could have imagined.  We're going to go through the same thing in the fall when he starts HS.  Good luck![/quote]
