RE: meeting date set

Beth,

In my opinion, I would definately move forward with the 504

meetings. They can always be revised should Hannah's diagnosis

change or there is a need for additional accommodations etc.

Addendums can be added thru-out the year and typically an annual

meeting is conducted to review the 504.

I only ask because Hannah is seeing the new doctor (rheumatologist

for 2nd opinion) three weeks after school starts. Should I wait

until after that appt as long as they are ok with the accommodations

that will be discussed on Tuesday? I don't want to mess this up for

Hannah.

Beth,

I agree with . Go for it and get it in place. Then if needed you can

change it. It will not mess Hannah up.

Hello-I am new to the 504 as well, but my school has told us that we can

make changes at any time we need to. We can add accommodations that we need

at any time we need. What I tried to do was think of anything that Kendra

MAY need throughtout the school yr. Longer test taking times, extra books,

the gym class issues, not having to rewrite papers, use of the computer to

do papers, things like that. There are more, this is just a few. I'd put

anything you think Hannah MAY need. Even if she doesn't need it now, or even

use it, it's better to have it in place. But you can also add later if

something comes up-at least that's what we've been told.

Hope this helps!

Good luck!!

Subject: meeting date set

Hannah's principal called me this a.m. We are having an informal meeting

with Hannah's teacher, the principal and possibly the gym teacher (you know

the lunkhead that wanted her participate in gym while on crutches).

Apparently he is also the adaptive gym teacher for the district. I express

some of my concerns with the principal and she was very supportive.

Anyway this will be an informal meeting set for next week Tuesday to discuss

our concerns and what we will need for accommodations for Hannah. The 504

meeting will happen later. The principal has a call into the district

disability coordinator for that.

If we go forward with setting up the 504, can that be changed? I only ask

because Hannah is seeing the new doctor (rheumatologist for 2nd opinion)

three weeks after school starts. Should I wait until after that appt as long

as they are ok with the accommodations that will be discussed on Tuesday? I

don't want to mess this up for Hannah.

Happy Thoughts..Be Well

Thanks Jill. Last night I sat down at the computer and starting a document for

the school. I included all three of her main diagnosis that could affect her

schooling (asthma, immune deficiency & severe arthralgia with possible JRA). I

had Hannah read my comments so as not to upset her with what I'm asking. I

think I will go back toady and add some things to it.

Thanks for your input.
