Donna Shepard Intermediate School
How can I schedule an ARD?
Each student who has qualified for special education services will have an annual ARD. Letters will be sent home in advance to notify you of the time and date. When you receive the notification, please sign it and return it to school with your child. If you wish to schedule an additional ARD for one reason or another, then please contact your child's case manager and/or school diagnostician. Remember, some concerns can be handled through a parent-teacher conference as opposed to an actual ARD.
How can I schedule a conference?
If you would like to schedule a conference, then please contact your child's case manager along with one of the team teachers. The team teachers are the ones who will set the date and time; however, it's important that his/her case manager is aware of the meeting.
Where can I view my students assignments and grades?
Parents have access to Skyward. If you are not signed up for Skyward, then please see the office staff in order to receive a log in/password for your child. Teachers will post grades regularly in the system. In addition to Skyward, progress reports and report cards will be sent home regularly.
