[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it’s the start of the third week of school (day 10) and you requested a meeting 20 days ago (which is obviously before school started) so some of this is on you.  It’s so hectic the first two weeks, they have been busy. [/quote]

stop blaming the victim. [/quote]

The victim of what?  Asking for a meeting before school staff even report?[/quote]

DP. Just stop. If schools had any sense at all they’d routinely schedule meetings before school starts to help with the transition. Despite my best efforts, my DS’s first 2 weeks of MS were a complete sh*tshow and none of the teachers knew anything about the (very extensive) IEP. [/quote]

You can have a pre start of school meeting written into the IEP. We had that up until HS. The window is small - teachers only start a week before kids and there are like three possible days for it to happen and notice is last minute so you have to keep your calendar really wide open. And it likely won’t be the whole team. But a transition meeting where you can be sure the new teacher is ready for your child is absolutely something that can be and is done. [/quote]

Try but have low expectations.  I was asked to attend one this year and told the person scheduling that I was already booked in mandatory meetings by our administrators.  I told her she had to work it out with them for me to skip one of their PD sessions, which took almost every min of the pre service week.  That didn’t happen so I never went to the meeting.  I understand parents want these meetings but teachers can’t be in two places at once and our administrators weren’t willing to budge.  I hadn’t read a single IEP or 504 yet, since I didn’t receive them until the first day of school.  [/quote]
