Modified Diploma Initial Consent
There are two different forms by which parents can provide initial consent to place a student on a modified diploma:
- If a student has a 504 or and IEP, the modified diploma parent signature form lives in Synergy SE as an adhoc document.
- If a student does not have a 504 or an IEP, then school counselors have access to this Initial Consent for Modified Diploma form, which a team will complete, and parents will sign. This form has been updated and can be found in the school counseling manual.
Notice of Modified Courses
When a student with an IEP has modified coursework, the case manager needs to communicate the changes to the counseling secretary and affect teachers. Each semester/trimester, case managers will need to complete the Notice of Modified Coursework form. This form has recently been updated and can be found on the Student Service website. For 504 or Non-IEP students with modified coursework, this will be completed by the school counselor.
