What to have ready

  • Child’s school, grade, student ID, and parent contact
  • Written evaluation, IEP, 504, records, discipline, or meeting request
  • Progress data, evaluations, and provider information
  • Examples of disability-related impact and all notices received

Words you can use

“I am making a written request for [evaluation, IEP meeting, records, or support] because disability-related needs affect [specific access or progress]. Please confirm receipt and the next procedural step.”

Steps in order

  1. 1

    Send the request in writing and keep proof.

  2. 2

    Ask the school ESE contact and principal for the next step.

  3. 3

    Ask for prior written notice when a request is refused.

  4. 4

    Call Student Support Services if district routing is still needed.

If the first answer is no or wait

A phone call does not replace a written request. Ask which assigned district administrator handles an unresolved school-level concern.
