IEP Progress Report

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.

To create and contribute to an IEP Progress Report, do the following:

1. Search for a student and select the appropriate Referral.

2. Do either, based on your situation:
    

   • If creating a new IEP Progress Report: Expand PLAN, then highlight the IEP. The Actions menu will change. Select New IEP Progress Report.
     
     NOTE: You will not be able to create a new IEP Progress Report if a previous report does not have Provided to Parent Date (i.e., if it is still open).
      

   • If contributing to an existing Progress Report: Expand PLAN, then highlight the document under Reporting Period. The Actions menu will change. Select Open IEP Progress Report.
     
     
     TIP: Progress Reports may be listed under different IEP cycles, as shown in the example below. Or, they may be located in different referrals. Check all referrals find the correct report.
