Communicating with your child's school
through letter writing
Throughout your child's
school years, there is always
a need to communicate with
the school's teachers,
administrators, and others
concerned with your child's
education. There are also times
when the school needs to communicate
with you. This is particularly true when your
child has a disability and is receiving special
education services. Some of this communication is
informal, such as phone calls, comments in your
child's notebook, a chat when picking your child up
from school or at a school function. Other forms of
communication are more formal and need to be
written down.

SECONDARY TRANSITION: 'JUST IN TIME' TRAINING RESOURCES
One of the major obstacles to implementing quality secondary transition services is staff turnover. Since turnover can occur at all levels from the classroom, to the school system, to the state, when it occurs, it is important to ensure new personnel have the skills and knowledge necessary to continue implementing quality secondary transition services. This document is designed to provide transition personnel at all levels with access to information on critical secondary transition competencies. Based on the Division for Career Development and Transition's competency lists for secondary special educators (Blanchett, 2001) and transition specialists (DCDT, 2000), and the Council for Exceptional Children competencies for school leaders (CEC, 2008) the document is divided into three documents. One for secondary special education teachers, one for secondary transition specialists, and the third for state agency secondary special education administrators
