How to Effectively Contact Del Valle ISD Special Education Staff
Successfully communicating with Del Valle ISD special education staff is crucial for your child's success. Consider these tips for effective contact:
- Best Times to Contact: Early mornings (before classes start) or late afternoons (after dismissal) are often ideal times to reach teachers by phone.
- Email vs. Phone: For detailed questions or requests, email is preferred. For urgent matters or quick clarifications, a phone call may be better.
- What to Say in Your First Message: Clearly state your child's name, grade, teacher, and the specific issue you're addressing. Be concise and respectful. For example: "Dear Mr./Ms. [Teacher's Name], I am writing to you regarding [Child's Name]'s IEP goals in [Subject Area]."
- Always Follow Up: After any phone conversation, send a follow-up email summarizing the discussion and any agreed-upon actions. This creates a written record.
What to Do If You Can't Reach Anyone
It can be frustrating when you can't get in touch with the appropriate personnel. Here's a suggested escalation path within Del Valle ISD:
- Step 1: Contact your child's special education teacher directly.
- Step 2: If you don't receive a response within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., 2 business days), contact the campus Special Education Coordinator.
- Step 3: If you still need assistance, contact the Del Valle ISD Director of Special Education. Contact information can be found on the district website.
- Step 4: As a last resort, you can file a complaint with the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Remember to exhaust all district-level options first.
Remember that Texas Education Code Chapter 29 outlines the rights and responsibilities related to special education services in Texas. Familiarizing yourself with this code can be helpful.
Your Right to District Records
As a parent, you have the right to access your child's educational records. Here's how:
- FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act): You have the right to inspect and review your child's education records within 45 days of submitting a written request to Del Valle ISD.
- Public Information Act (Texas Government Code Chapter 552): You can use the Public Information Act to request access to district records, including staff contact information.
To submit a records request, send a written request to the Del Valle ISD Special Education Department. Clearly state the specific records you are requesting. Include your child's name, date of birth, and school. Keep a copy of your request for your records.
