This article assists users when completing the Classroom Accommodations screen.
The screen is used to enter accommodations and modifications the student will use in the classroom. The selected accommodations print on Alternate Form F.
Information
This page includes instructions for entering program/classroom accommodations. To view information about entering accommodations for state assessments (Grade-Level Assessments, End-of-Course Assessments, ACCESS for ELLs, and NAEP) click here. Information about entering accommodations for both classroom and state assessments can also be found on the Accommodations Quick Start Card.
Remember to select “Documented on Alternate Form F” in the Program Modification and Accommodations section on the Services Summary Form. This will create the Alternate Form F-Decision form. Choose “Include Alternate Form F in print layout” on the Decision Form. If this step is not completed Alternate Form F will not appear in the printed IEP, even if accommodations are entered on the Classroom Accommodations Screen. If this happens and the IEP has been locked, an IEP Correction will have to be completed.
To see the complete list of classroom accommodations download the most recent copy of DESE's Form F for reference.
Reminder
The Classroom Accommodations Screen is not required by Phoenix. Therefore, it is possible for the IEP to be locked without entering any classroom accommodations. This could cause Alternate Form F to be blank when printed and no accommodations would be included in the IEP. If this happens and the IEP has been locked, an IEP Correction event must be completed to correct the error. Printing and proofreading the IEP before locking can prevent this.
