  2. Change is difficult for us all The beginning of each year is stressful and we often feel like Mr. Kitty. This presentation is to help give you a brief overview of the new requirements and personnel.

  3. The Times, They Are A Changin’ • SEAs • Staff • Communication • Parent Contact

  4. Special Education Automated SystemSEAS • Official computerized IEP program for the state of Oklahoma • Must be used for all state reporting • Electronic file that mirrors child’s special education file • All IEPs must be typed using the SEAs program • Random monitoring will be performed during the 2006-2007 school year

  5. The SEAs 411 • Student information must be complete on every child • Student Id numbers must be his or her WAVE number. These are available from the building secretary. • Entry/Exit dates must be current • All discipline referrals will be entered into SEAS (see your building principal)

  6. New Faces on Staff • Terri is a new paraprofessional who will be working with Mrs. G. in the MS and HS life skills class • Angela is the paraprofessional who will be at the elementary school

  7. Bus Schedules • Who’s Driving • We need a driver for the handicap bus/car…who will volunteer • Who’s Riding • A paraprofessional will need to ride the an elementary child…who wants it • Bus Subs • Sometimes people need to be gone, can you cover them???

  8. Student Assignments • Please be thinking about who will primarily work with each of your students in need of one-on-one assistance. • I need your schedules and personnel assignments by the end of week one. I know they will change, but we need a foundation to start.

  9. Close Encounters with the Director • A lot of communication from the special ed office will occur via e-mail for the 2006-2007 school year • A working e-mail account that is checked at least every other day must be provided by August 17th. • The easiest way to get a message to me is Instant Messaging or e-mail rather than by the office phone. You can also use my cell especially in an emergency.

  10. Close Encounters of the Parental Kind • All teachers must contact their students’ parents or guardians within the first week of school

  11. Parent contacts continued… • Things to talk about when you make the call • Introduce yourself as the teacher for the new school year • Get the parents’ input for the child’s educational plan • Ask about the child’s likes and dislikes’ • Remember --many parents are the best experts on working with their child and a valuable member of the IEP and Educational team

  12. Finally… This power point is in place of the beginning of the year meeting we all love so much. I am not saying there will not be more to come, but maybe it will be delayed until later.

  13. The End
