PPT meetings can cause anxiety, frustration, confusion and overall mixed feelings. Many phrases are thrown out and not fully communicated to the parents on what they mean. As a parent you have a right to ask for clarification on the terms and districts are even required to provide many of these items in your primary language. Remember you are there for your child and you have rights. Here are some of the terms that are at every ppt meeting, or atleast should be. Remember you’re doing a great job and are an important part of their team!
We are closed today in observance of Memorial Day. We will re open tomorrow at 9 am for regular hours.
We are closed on Tuesday May 19, 2026 due to a water main issue. All sessions are cancelled and staff are not to report in. We apologize for the inconvenience.
