lsaoud Posts 3	My family and I just moved to Miami this past July due to a job transfer. I was told by my son's school before we moved that someone would meet with us over the summer, give us a tour of the school, etc. That never happened. My son did not even get to see the school (other than the outside of the building) until the first day of school. We did not get to have an IEP meeting with the school until Sept. 29th, which was outside of the time limit for a new IEP to be done. We agreed during the meeting that a new evaluation would be done for my son and then the IEP would be revisited and goals adjusted as needed. It is now December 14th, and the kids go on winter break at this end of this week. We have STILL not heard anything about my son's case. I have been asking him if anyone is pulling him out of class to work with him, etc. and he keeps saying no. When his first progress report came back, there was no accompanying report on how he was doing with his goals, which we were used to receiving with every report card at his old school and which I believe we are still supposed to get from the new school. My son is receiving some very poor grades which has never happened before. On another note, I had joined the PTA and signed up to be a volunteer through the dadeschools.net parent portal and have never received a notice either about PTA meetings or volunteering from the school. I would like to be as involved in my son's education as I can, and the situation is becoming extremely frustrating. The school is not being helpful at all and I need to know what to do next. Is there anyone who has experience with the dade county school system who is able to help us or make some recommendations? Since we are new to the area I still am not sure of how things work. I would really appreciate it!

ahueso Posts 3	Hi lsaoud, my name is Alex and I am a Education and Support Specialist at Parent to Parent, have you contacted us at our offices and spoken to one of our Education and Support Specialist? We can speak to you directly and really take a look at all of the issues you are experiencing with the school and provide you with the necessary support. I will mention breifly that if you signed consent at your 11/29/10 IEP meeting to have your son re-evaluated the school has 60 "school calendar" days to not only complete the re-eval, but to sit with you and review the findings. If the school can not complete the evaluation within the 60 school callendar days, the must inform you in writting and reach an agreement with you on how much more time is reasonably needed. You should have also received with his report card a "status report"update which would inform you on his progress with his goals. This MUST be given to you with the report card, if you did not receive it please request it. Schools are finishing up the second school semester within the nest 2 weeks, so if your son is not progress well, I would highly suggest you request an interim IEP meeting ASAP to discuss his progress or lack there of. PUT IT IN WRITTING...All requests or any discussions you have with the school should be put in writting, either a letter or email and the SPED Chair and Assistant Principal is the persons in charge of ESE issues, so copy both. As I mentioned before you can contact us here at Parent to Parent and we can take a closer look at these issues and even review your son's IEP and provide suggestion to improve it. We also offer FREE workgroups and workshops specifically on IDEA, Special Education Process and IEP's...I highly recommend them! I hope this helps and please feel free to contact us anytime...we are always here to help! Have a great day!
