Parents can access Special Programs documents, including your child’s IPP in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Accessing these documents from the comfort of home allows parents to always have access to their child’s Individualized Program Plan and supporting documents for the IPP. Access to this digital document does not replace the face-to-face IPP meeting with your child’s teacher and/or school team – this is still a critical component of the creation of these documents.
Steps Include:
- Log into PowerScool – Parent Portal.
- Click on student (if there is more than one student attached to the parent account) who has a Special Program. Then click on the Special Program Home link on the left menu).
- This will open the Special Programs page. ***If no documents are visible, please click on 3 the arrow to the right of Quick Access. ***
- When the document(s) listed under the current year are selected, there are different sections of the document that can be viewed separately. Use the Section area to choose which section to review.
- If your child’s school has reviewed the Individual Program Plan and/or Behaviour Support Plan with you, after reading through the documents, parents need to provide their digital signature on the last page of the document(s). Find this by clicking on the arrow beside the Section and choose the Signatures option.
- Once the Signatures page opens, click on Edit this Section. The document will then show the checkboxes beside the names. Follow the directions on the page and once completed, click on Save, Done Editing or Save, Continue Editing.
- Should you have further questions regarding Special Programs and/or access to your child’s documents, please contact your child’s school.
- Parents can also view videos for support in accessing their child’s IPP on our ECSD.net website.
