Summer School and Writing Labs - When the IEP Isn't Enough
DD has been struggling intensely in ELA this year.
I don't know if it's the fact that 6th grade ELA was a double-period and 7th isn't or if she's taking advantage of the Special Ed teacher in her integrated classroom ("integrated" in this case means there are kids who need IEP and 504 Plan accommodations as well as kids who don't) or if she's just being a stubborn teenager or what.
But, bottom line, it looks like she will fail ELA for the year.
I have been meeting and emailing with her teachers all year; I have been in near-constant contact with her case manager; I have just asked (AGAIN) for a Writing Lab, as well as summer school because taking two ELA courses at once in 8th grade would absolutely break her.
On the district website, they have summer school info from 2022 ... and not only is it all online but it's also $$$ and neither of that will work for us.
Sent an email to her case manager; she's OOO today (fine, NBD) and asked again about writing lab & who I need to write to in order to get one at the middle school.
But, holy crap, this shouldn't be so hard!
Anyone have any advice about getting in-person summer school set up? What about writing lab? Tutoring? The only caveat is that it absolutely cannot be online.
