If you are a service provider or team member for a student with an IEP, you can use the IEP Progress Reports tab to access a list of all students whose reports you need to update. This tab is a faster way to access the same function on the IEP itself, which is a document located on the Student Profile > Referral tab.
IEP Progress Reports contain evaluations about whether a student is meeting goals and objectives that were documented by the Student Team in the Standards and Goals tab of the IEP.
In the report, service providers or team members select objectives that are relevant to their subject areas and write their evaluations about the student's progress. Service providers or team members can view all evaluations but only can edit their own statements.
NOTE: Once a progress report is saved with Provided to Parent Date, the report is considered complete and final. Additional evaluations must be included in the next Report Period.
