How to Effectively Contact Keller ISD Special Education Staff
Communicating effectively with Keller ISD special education staff is crucial for your child's success. Here's how to make the most of your interactions:
- Best Times to Contact: Generally, mornings (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM) or late afternoons (3:00 PM - 4:30 PM) are good times to call, as teachers are often more available before and after instruction. Email is often more convenient for staff.
- Email vs. Phone: For non-urgent matters or to schedule a meeting, email is usually preferred. Use the phone for more immediate concerns or to clarify complex issues.
- What to Say in Your First Message: Be clear, concise, and specific. State your child's name, grade, campus, and the specific concern you have. For example: "I am writing to you regarding [child's name]'s IEP goals in reading. I've noticed [specific observation]."
Important Tip: Always follow up any phone conversation with an email summarizing the discussion and any agreed-upon actions. This creates a written record of the communication.
What to Do If You Can't Reach Anyone
If you are having trouble reaching Keller ISD special education staff, follow these escalation steps:
- Step 1: Teacher: Start by contacting your child's special education teacher directly.
- Step 2: Campus Special Education Coordinator: If you don't receive a response within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., 2 business days), contact the campus special education coordinator. Their contact information should be available on the school's website.
- Step 3: District Special Education Director: If you still need assistance, contact the Keller ISD Special Education Director. Their information is typically found on the district's special education webpage.
- Step 4: Texas Education Agency (TEA): As a last resort, you can file a complaint with the TEA. Refer to Texas Education Code Chapter 29 for information on special education legal rights and procedures.
