Goals
At Western Hills Middle
School it is our belief that all children should be educated in the least
restrictive environment. We are actively involved in all aspects of the
special education continuum. The reasons for our many successes include the
collaboration of teachers, parents, building support staff and
administration.
If you have any questions
about our program or your child, please call or email your child's case
manager. They will be happy to assist you.
Parents
At WHMS we actively
encourage parental involvement. In addition to asking you to attend your
child's annual IEP meeting, we will be sending home quarterly progress
reports. These differ from the report cards in that they measure your child's
progress towards their specific IEP goals.
As an IEP team member we
need your input for our meetings. Prior to the IEP meeting, a worksheet
titled "Preparing for your child's IEP meeting" will be sent to
you. (see above link on this page) Please bring this completed sheet with
you.
