If my daughter has accommodations (504/IEP) do teachers get notified automatically each semester or do we have to re-advocate every January. Thx you
At Corona del Mar High, teachers are generally notified of a student's IEP or 504 accommodations through the district's centralized student information system. This notification remains active as long as the plan is current, meaning you do not need to re-advocate every January.
Automatic Notification
- The Newport-Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD) utilizes digital platforms that flag active IEPs and 504 plans for teachers. This system is designed to ensure that teachers are aware of the accommodations in place for their students.
- Despite the automatic notifications, it is common practice for parents to send a brief introductory email to new teachers each semester. This helps confirm that the teachers have received and understood the specific accommodation details, especially since students may have different teachers in the second semester.
- IEPs must be reviewed at least once a year, while 504 plans are typically reviewed annually or during major transitions. Therefore, while your daughter's accommodations remain valid, proactive communication is beneficial for clarity and support.
