Pre IEP Package 6
Dear Mr. and Mrs.
This letter is to inform your family our school will be conducting the Individual Education Program (IEP) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for your child. The IEP will serve as an outline of the special education your child will receive. As its name states, the program will suit the specific needs of your child. The program’s purpose is to provide your child’s education, services, and evaluation as an individual.
It is a requirement of IEP to conduct meetings that will help develop, monitor, and assess your child’s specific needs. In order for both the school and your family to prepare for the meeting, a Pre-IEP package was created.
Attached to this letter is a Pre-IEP Package. The package includes a questionnaire, proposed goals, document access information, and the usage of IEP information. The package will help prepare both the school and your family for the IEP meeting.

Proposed Objectives and Goals for Omar
The IEP is made to shape the specific special education your child needs in order to become an eventual prominent citizen of a community.

Transition into adolescence and adulthood with the necessary skills effectively
Whose IDEA Was This?
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law which implements special education for eligible children with regards to the curriculum, programs, and services. This further establishes the need for the Individual Education Program (IEP). IEP is the outline of a specific child’s education. It concretizes the vision of the student’s teachers and parents for his total welfare. It aims to create a curriculum that suits the student’s certain needs and further help the child attain his own goals in life. The school will be following its obligation to practice IDEA and therefore provide this Pre-IEP Package.
The Pre-IEP Package will prepare both teachers and parents for the consultation of the child’s needs and progress. The information in the package includes:
The portfolio of the child
The assessments made to form the child’s curriculum
The activities provided to the child
Records of the child’s performance
Evaluation of the teacher
Evaluation of the parent
Necessary changes for the curriculum
Actions to enhance the child’s improvements
Access to the documents of the Pre-IEP Package will be the sole responsibility of the parents and the school will serve its best assistance for information security.

Using the Pre IEP Package: A Narrative Explanation
Parents can entrust the information of the Pre-IEP Package to teachers because it will serve as a guide in building the education needed for their children. As a responsible educator, I prioritize the welfare of my student, Omar. I will protect his profile and records with strict caution. I will ensure the best practices to keep the package secure.
The information will be used for classroom purposes. I will keep the information in order to establish and develop the objectives stated. As discussed with the parents, the main objective is to prepare Omar for transition to adolescence and eventually adulthood. I have proposed minor objectives and target goals that will serve as a foundation. These objectives are yet to be for the approval of Omar’s parents and the school. I am confident with the packet provided that they will suit and be necessarily adjusted to meet Omar’s needs.
I will also use the Pre-IEP package to formulate the best activities that Omar can practice inside and outside of the school to meet his specific curriculum standards. The activities would follow Omar’s responses, evaluation, and monitored practices. The overall effectiveness would be my next task and it would be consulted with his parents.
I will deliver the first Pre-IEP package in a general meeting with the concerned parents of my class. I will make myself available for any specific considerations the parents may want to address. The package deliveries of their children’s progress will depend on the preference of the child’s family. Omar’s mother expressed that a schedule wherein I would meet her for a hard copy of the package should be made. She also inquired about the process of access to digital copies. I will inform Omar’s mother through email and mobile text upon uploading the information. I am to hand the Pre-IEP package to Omar’s father and grandfather in case of emergencies
In case the family does not respond to delivery updated on the Pre-IEP package, I will consult the best practices with the guidance counselor and administration of the school. I will do my best to keep the information private and confidential.
In case there is a major conflict with the objectives, activities, and evaluations of Omar’s progress with the family I will suggest a second opinion of an experienced educator. I will do my best to ensure that Omar’s family believes in their child’s capabilities to meet his own goals.
