Initial and Transfer IEPs

Remember that Initial and Transfer IEPs should be completed within 30 days. Initial IEPs carry the additional step of requiring a signed Initial Parent Consent. Until this is signed and returned and the information is entered in Phoenix, Initial IEPs should not be locked. If they are locked, they will show as PENDING and no edits can be made until consent is received in writing.

Please check your meetings due and/or Open Meetings report for a list of events by due date.

Deleting Events

If Discipline Documents, Transportation forms, or other stand-alone events appear in Phoenix with scheduled dates from the 2023-2024 school year, contact Tech Support at 314.989.8686.

At the beginning of the year, students should have a scheduled IEP and a scheduled Reeval Decision or Reeval. Any scheduled amendments or corrections from the previous school year should be deleted.

Assigning Providers

Case Managers should be assigned to events, and 2024-2025 staff should be assigned to Goals/Services.
Assigning individual providers: Providers - Individual Student - Updating Case Manager and Providers
Assigning multiple providers: Providers - Multiple Students - Updating Case Manager and Providers using Staff Management

Special Education Coordinators and Directors:

Your district may have students assigned to Administrators rather than Case Managers. To locate and assign these students, run the report Non-Provider > Open Meetings by Attending District for your district using 10/01/2024 as the due date. If a student with no supervisor is not in your schools, please contact Student Data.

Transportation

If a student’s home or school changed over the summer and they receive(d) transportation, their transportation needs to be updated in Phoenix.

If they have previously had Transportation, a Transportation Change Form can be completed in Phoenix. If they have not previously had Transportation, an Amendment needs to be done, and transportation should be updated in the Student Summary page as well as the Transportation Decision and Transportation Form once you mark yes to transportation on the Service Summary.

Transportation Form
