A Visit to Walhalla HS

Today I was able to participate as a "walk-in" with parental permission at an IEP meeting held at Walhalla High School. The special education teacher led the meeting with a caring, respectful, and professional tone. She thoroughly presented the present levels of performance including the student's strengths, weaknesses, and needs. The goals clearly matched the needs for special education and transition. She often asked for input from the team members while covering every section of the IEP. After the meeting, the student's guardian expressed how thankful she was for everything this teacher had done and commented on how much the student "loved" her. I know the feeling is mutual. SDOC is proud of our teachers and their willingness to go above and beyond everyday to help our students. This teacher is clearly making a differrence.
