This article assists users when completing the form.

Form information

The Notification of Meeting must be completed and saved, and "Create/Store Invite" must be clicked before the related event can be locked.

The purpose of the form is to notify the parent/guardian/18+-year-old student of a meeting and should be completed by the person responsible for scheduling the meeting.

The form contains legally required information about the meeting, which will be provided to the parent/guardian/18+-year-old student before all meetings.

For an Initial Eligibility, Reevaluation, and IEP/SP meeting, the form must be provided to the parent/guardian/18+-year-old student at least 10 calendar days before the meeting unless the requirement is waived by the parent/guardian/18+-year-old student. It must be printed and sent to the parent even if an agreement about the date and time has been made some other way.

Open

In an IEP and SP, the Meeting Date on the Notification updates the Scheduled date, which then auto-fills to the Plan Dates screen in the IEP or SP. It is used to calculate the Projected Annual Due Date. The Plan Dates are used for the beginning and end dates for the goals, services, and classroom accommodations.

In an Initial Evaluation, the date on the Background, Evaluation Results, Eligibility Determination, Record of Participation, and Additional Information page auto-fills from the Notification of Meeting and should reflect the date of the Eligibility Conference.

In a Reevaluation Event, one Notification of Meeting is completed by the Case Manager for the Review of Existing Data meeting, even if the information was included on the same NOM for the IEP. If assessment or additional data is needed and an eligibility conference is going to be held, a second Notification of Meeting for the eligibility conference must be sent to ensure the dates on the evaluation forms and in Caselog are correct.
