Do you know or suspect that your child has a learning disability? Does your child have a 504 plan or an IEP and you want to know more about the process? Do you want to meet other parents who have a child with an IEP? If you answered yes to any of these questions, come learn about the IEP process. What is an IEP? What is the process to get an IEP? How does an IEP work? What is the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan? 

Principal Rhea Murphy and Special Needs Liaison Christine Koene will be going over the process and answering questions. They will share tips on how to work together with the teachers and school to ensure your child has the best education possible. There will also be parents on hand to tell about their special education journeys.
