Dear Family,

I am beginning to prepare the Individual Education Plan process for your child.  An essential part of  the IEP is the student profile. 

As educators we benefit greatly when parents or guardians give us a “picture” of their child.  I am requesting you take some time and complete the attached information sheet or write informally about your child ’s strengths, interests, and challenges.  

The plan we put in place is for your child and therefore it is enlightening to hear from his or her perspective.  Some parents like to use the format I am providing; others prefer to write the story more informally or to request the school complete the student profile.  If you would like the school to work on the profile please return the student copy with a note.  Thank you.

Please return this information to me at the school as soon as possible.  Once completed, it will go to your child’s classroom teacher and will also be incorporated into the IEP. 

Thank you for being an integral part of your child’s team.

Yours truly,

XXXX  XXXXXX
Learning Support Teacher
