[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school makes these accommodations, not the parents. If you received an email last night in regards to the accommodations, be sure to follow up with the teacher via email to ask if the accommodations were met for the PSAT in accordance to his 504 plan? Then, be sure to ask your child. If the answers differ, call for a meeting in email. If they dropped the ball, be sure to follow up with an email, along with your lawyer.[/quote]

The school provides the paperwork for the accommodations. That doesn't mean it's their responsibility to know when a student is planning to take the test, and arrange it.  The school provides plenty of other things when asked, like recommendation letters or documentation of enrollment for TANF that they don't take responsibility for taking the lead on.

The test in 10th grade is a practice test for the PSAT which, for 98% of kids, is also a practice test (for kids who might get NMS a high score might mean something, but otherwise PSAT in 11th is just practice).  If a kid needed something like permission to test their blood or bring a snack for diabetes, then yes of course they need them, but for extended time, having a practice without it might actually help a kid think about what accommodations to ask for on the test that counts.[/quote]
