=** ﻿ ﻿All folders are audited and ready for pick up in Sarah's office. Please come by as soon as possible. Reminder that service logs are due to my at the end of the 6 weeks - which is rapidly approaching. **=

==== Reminder: Folders are due to my office for audit by Thursday of this week. Case load forms are located on the forms tabs and should be completed as well. There is a version for school age as well as PK. Thanks for all you do. ====

==== New information on Functional Behavioral Assessments. . . When doing an FBA - even for manifest determinations due to suspensions -- OSEP is now stating that you have to treat this as a full re-eval with a signed consent to evaluate. The full letter is posted under the Behavior Resources tab. Behavioral Assessments are to be treated as any other evaluation. ====

====Service logs for EC teachers will be due to me no later than the Friday following the end of the 6 weeks. Folders will still be due for audit no later than payday of each month. Related service providers will document in easyiep. Time recorded must be the actual time spent with a child. There should be very little discrepancy between this time and the actual iep time. The only cases where there might be a difference would be in the situation of make up time. Please remember that service logs are legal documents and must be an accurate reflection of accurate time served. ====

=== This means (if you choose this option) that you would have an additional due date to remember and there may be times when I would need to call you and ask you to send me what you have. That being said, you decide. . . majority vote by Friday wins! Post your preference on the discussion page. ===
