Earlier this year, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released a new Individualized Education Program (IEP) form to be used in schools and districts across the state beginning sometime over the next two years. Your child's education team is committed to providing the best possible supports and services for your child's educational journey, and our use of the new IEP form is designed to enhance that commitment.
This new statewide IEP form helps teams to more effectively address the needs of students eligible for special education services. The revised form focuses attention on gathering complete information about your child's strengths, challenges, and individualized goals to develop a more personalized education plan for your child.
Somerville's Special Education Department in collaboration with the Somerville Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) will be hosting 3 in-person training sessions on the new IEP form for families. Below are the dates, times and locations for these training sessions. Interpretation services will be available.
Tuesday, March 19th 7:00-9:00pm at West Somerville
Wednesday, April 24th 7:00-9:00pm at Somerville High School
Thursday, May 16th 7:00-9:00pm at East Somerville.
Childcare will be provided during each of these sessions for students ages 3-8. If you require childcare, kindly click the link below and fill out the form. We need to have accurate numbers in order to ensure appropriate staffing.
