Model Letter Dear (Teacher's name), I am writing to request an IEP review meeting. I would like to discuss making some changes in (child's name)'s IEP. I am concerned about (state your reasons, but don't go into detail about the specific changes you want to make—save those for the meeting).
You should make a written request to your child's teacher, principal or special education administrative office. You should specifically ask for an IEP Review in your written request. Cal. Ed.
Include: Your child's full name and date of birth. A clear statement that you are requesting an evaluation under IDEA. A summary of your concerns and any supporting documentation. Send your evaluation request via certified mail to ensure there is a record of receipt. This adds weight to your request.
Locate the student's profile. From the Actions bar, click Documents. From the Create New Document drop-down menu, choose Notice of IEP Meeting. Click the Go button, then click the Create button. From the Type of Notice drop-down menu, choose the appropriate notice type. Click the Save, Done Editing button.
If you're still worried after you've talked with your child's teacher (and/or IEP case manager), you can call an IEP meeting. This is one of your rights as a parent of a student with a disability. You don't have to wait until your concerns are dire. It is best to send your request for the IEP meeting in writing.
Talking about the IEP or the needs of a different student is not something that you can discuss in an IEP meeting. Not only are IEPs legal documents, they are confidential. Sharing about another student on your caseload, even if a family member asks about that student by name, is not something that is legal to do.
Each letter you write should include the following basic information: Put the date on your letter. Give your child's full name and the name of your child's main teacher or current class placement. Say what you want, rather than what you don't want. Give your address and a daytime phone number where you can be reached.
Setting Up the Meeting Call home ahead of time to discuss the meeting, rather than sending an informational letter home with the student. Describe what the meeting will entail, and how the family can prepare. Explain who will attend: the teacher, the parent, a learning or behavioral specialist, and a district official.

However, there's nothing in the law that says the IEP meeting has to start and conclude in one shot. IEP team members can agree to break and reconvene at a later date or time. If during the meeting you think the team needs more information or that someone else should be there, you can ask that the meeting be stopped.
