[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To most kids I’d say pull her out and homeschool however you see fit. But what does that mean for a kid with an IEP? Would you have to start the process all over again when school resumes? Or can you continue where you left off?

Is it pass-fail? What about just doing the minimum to get by?[/quote]
This.  You don’t want to start the IEP process over again.
Do the absolute bare minimum. 
The work (for the most part) is busy work anyway - doubt she’ll fall behind.  If you’re worried about falling behind for 6th grade, just keep up with a few worksheets in whatever subject you are concerned about.  [/quote]

Special Ed teacher here.

If you pull and homeschool, or go to a private school, your IEP is put on hold.  If eligibility expires while she's out that's different, but that's unlikely for a 2 month period.  And as a courtesy to the school you'll want to register her and make sure they know there is an IEP (assuming she's in MD or DC where she'd be moving to a new school for sixth) at least a week before school starts.  If she's in a self contained placement, or in a school that's not her home school, then that would be a little different, but still not a big deal.  [/quote]
