 Modified Diploma Initial Consent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two different forms by which parents can provide initial consent to place a student on a modified diploma:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. If a student has a 504 or and IEP, the modified diploma parent signature form lives in Synergy SE as an adhoc document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. If a student does not have a 504 or an IEP, then school counselors have access to this Initial Consent for Modified Diploma form<\/a>, which a team will complete, and parents will sign.   This form has been updated and can be found in the school counseling manual.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Notice of Modified Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    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<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
