[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, PP...so it sounds like I need to go to the teacher for these.....The reason I am asking is I've read that there is a 30 day window before the first meeting, and so I want to get my ducks in a row and have EVERYTHING together including my back-up tests, etc. at the time I submit the letter. As we all know, &*&(* happens and you only get one chance at this...

OP, your first meeting is just to ask for an assessment.  This is not "THE" meeting that you think it is.  "THE" meeting comes after the assessments are done and the team (you included) are deciding on whether your child qualifies for the IEP.  At that meeting you need to be as prepared as possible and be totally on your game.

This being said, PP is right - just ask the teacher for the scores you want.  No big deal to get them and you will feel better and more prepared if you do.  FWIW, if your child is proficient, they don't look much further on the MSAs, MAP M and MAP R scores.

Also, from your first post, you seem to be writing a big letter.  It's not necessary.  Getting this first meeting is as simple as calling the school counselor, expressing some of your concerns and asking for an assessment.  Best thing you can do is to get the counselor on your side and buying into your concerns right in the beginning.

Good luck.  I have two SN kids.  I just completed the assessment request meeting (the step where you are) and the assessment review/IEP decision meeting for the second time with one of my kids.  First time he didn't qualify.  This time he did.  Next meeting is setting goals and services.  [/quote]
