In order to make your student’s transition into Granville County Public Schools go smoothly, it is very important to provide your student’s new school copies of the following information during registration:
•Most recent psychoeducational report, eligibility, evaluation and/or reevaluation report;
•Current individualized education program (IEP); and
•Contact information for your student’s previous school and school district.
These items will support a successful transition between your student’s old and new school and will ensure that appropriate services and supports are made available.
What to Expect
For out of state students:
Once you have shared your student’s special education records, school staff will invite you to a meeting to discuss comparable services, or services similar to or the same as, provided on your student’s most recent IEP. During the meeting, school staff will also describe the initial eligibility process that occurs when students move from out of state and the timeline in which an initial North Carolina (NC) IEP will be developed.
For in state students but new to Granville County Public Schools:
School staff will begin implementing your student’s current NC on their first day of school. An invitation to review and revise your student’s IEP may be scheduled. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss your student’s transition to a new school and to determine if any adjustments to the services and supports currently being provided are needed.
From time to time, disagreements between families and schools may occur regarding the development and implementation a student’s individualized education program (IEP). It is highly recommended that the following steps be considered in order to resolve differences quickly.
- Address at the Classroom Level - First talk to your child's teacher about your concern.
- Address at the School Level - Talk to the Principal at your child's school about your concern.
- Address at the District Level - If you still have concerns, contact the local EC Director for Granville County Public Schools.
What is NC MTSS?
Family engagement within a MTSS is defined as the active and meaningful partnerships that educators build and maintain with students' families for the purpose of supporting student learning. It embodies the idea that all parties are equally invested in the student's educational experience and all parties bring knowledge and skills of equal value to the table to work together.
