Dear Jeffco Families,

In this unprecedented time, the Special Education Department is making every effort to provide appropriate special education and related services for students with disabilities. We understand that this transition has created new challenges for our students, families, and staff.

While your child’s needs have not changed, the conditions in which we are working have changed considerably, so we want to collaborate with you to develop a remote learning plan for your child. In doing so, we are considering the nature of a student’s disability and the individual needs of the student with an emphasis on learning, access, and progress toward goals as our highest priorities. We trust that you are in touch with your child’s service providers to work together to plan for ongoing instruction. We greatly appreciate your collaboration, adaptability, and understanding as we are learning to navigate our current reality together. We can do this and support each other with grace, empathy, and kindness through this disruption.

To improve our processes, we will continue to review and respond to comments and questions submitted by the community.

Take care of yourselves and each other, and thank you again for all you do.

Respectfully,

Jeffco Special Education Team
