Elementary EBISS recommendation during CDL\/Hybrid:
<\/strong><\/span>SPO\/TLC leadership have put together recommendations for how elementary EBISS teams should proceed with considering when to move students through tiers of intervention, how to progress monitor, what data to use, and some basic decision rules.\u00a0 This information has been shared with school psychologists and building leaders.\u00a0
As we move into November, it is advised that EBISS teams meet as 100% teams and begin your 20% meetings.\u00a0 I fully understand that this process will look and feel different and that your teams may already be meeting.\u00a0

You can find the guidance HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

New Update on the PLAAFP:
The PreACT has been added to the test list on the PLAAFP tab of the IEP under Standardized testing.  Currently, if you have an open IEP, the Print Test box is checked by default.  You will need to uncheck it if your student either isn’t old enough or hasn’t taken this test.  You can enter in the grade, dates, and score.  There is also a comment box for any other information.<\/p>\n\n\n
