What is Special Education Connections?
Trimester 2 Progress Reports
We want to take this opportunity to inform you that your child's case manager will be providing you with a copy of your child's trimester two progress notes during the month of March. These notes are an essential part of our commitment to keeping you informed of your child's progress on their Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals and objectives.
We encourage you to review your child's progress notes carefully and reach out to your child's case manager should you have any questions.

From our Directors
As we enter into trimester three, we wanted to take a moment to express our continued gratitude for your collaboration in your child's education.
As we move forward, please remember that our dedicated team of educators are here to assist you as needed. Should you have any inquiries regarding your child's Individualized Education Program (IEP), please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's case manager. They are well-equipped to provide guidance and address any questions that may arise during trimester three.
For matters related to your child's school site, please contact your child's principal. If you encounter any program related questions, the program specialist assigned to your child's school site would be happy to respond to any questions or concerns you might have.
