[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its clear that DS's teacher this year is not making any of the accommodations listed in his 504. He is supposed to be given redirection to complete tasks, preferential seating, break out services, etc. He is sitting at the far end of the corner away from the teacher, she never does anything to refocus him, she doesn't report when he is falling behind etc etc.

We're under the new 2.0 grading system so he gets a P in everything and when I ask her about his progress she reports that he is fine. Its like pulling teeth to get anything out of her. Now, at the end of year his folders and journals are coming home. They are basically empty or filled with unfinished work. He's been telling me all year that he is always the last to finish and doesn't get things done but since not much comes home other than a few worksheets I don't have anything to take to the principal. When I would ask the teacher she would say he is fine. From her perspective, as long as he is performing at the bottom level of a P then it doesn't matter if he sits and doodles or stares out the window all day. If I had known how bad this was I would have intervened much earlier.

The purpose of the 504 isn't just to get the kids to do the bare minimum but to give them a learning environment with accommodations where they can reach their academic potential and learn something. I don't care if this is still a damn P grade but I'm furious that he has basically not learned anything this year and he hasn't been able to do or afforded the opportunity to do the work in school.

What do I do? Our principal is so so and doesn't have a reputation for being helpful to parents. I have never had a problem with her personally but wonder based on what I have heard from other parents.
