Parent Awareness Checklist
LCS welcomes Parent Involvement
How do I prepare for an IEP Meeting for my Elementary Child?
We have developed the LCS Parent Awareness Checklist to help you prepare for IEP meetings.
As you prepare for your child’s IEP meeting, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s special education teacher to secure additional information on how you can prepare for this very important meeting.
