Questions or concerns about students on IEPs and their progress may be directed to Mrs. Alison Senior or Mrs. Lindsey Ham in person or by email. The IEP list is distributed at the beginning of each semester which lists all student names and their exceptionality, their LRT and whether the student has a SEA laptop.
