Progress report season

Progress reports are coming home

A progress report shows how your child is doing on each IEP goal. Read it next to the IEP, so you can see what each goal is measured against.

A first look at your child's roadmap is free. The full analysis is $39.99, one time, per IEP.

What IDEA says

IDEA says your child's IEP must describe how progress on each annual goal is measured, and when you get reports on that progress.

IDEA, 34 CFR 300.320(a)(3)
