Parent and School Collaboration

Collaboration between the parent, private school, and DCPS can help our team better understand if the student may have a disability.

 

Parents have no obligation or responsibility regarding private school participation. 

Helpful School Documentation

​The following are examples of records that speak to the child's academic progress:
 

  • Attendance records   

  • Report cards   

  • Standardized test scores   

  • Work samples 

  • Student Schedule  

  • Transcript  

  • Graded Work Samples    

  • MAP scores   

  • Report Card   

  • End of the Year report   

  • All evaluation(s)  

  • Incident reports, discipline referrals, or any write up's  

  • Intervention data (Behavior, Academic, ESL)  

  • Teacher narratives   

  • Extended feedback 

Other Recommendations

  • We encourage private schools and parents to communicate about any student concerns prior to a referral being submitted to ensure everyone is on the same page before the process begins. However, parents may submit a referral without the private school being in agreement. 

Collaborating with DCPS Schools 

For DC residents, a DCPS local school may be involved in a student's eligibility process.​

​

When a DCPS local school is involved, the DCPS school will host the AED meeting and any subsequent meetings. If assessments are needed, the school will work with the family to schedule a time for the child to come to the DCPS school for assessments. Prompt responsiveness to scheduling is greatly appreciated.
