How to Effectively Contact Round Rock ISD Special Education Staff
Establishing clear communication with Round Rock ISD special education staff is crucial for your child's success. Here are some tips for effective communication:
- Best Times to Contact: Many teachers and staff have heavy schedules during the school day. Email is often the best initial contact method. Check the school website or staff directories for preferred contact times.
- Email vs. Phone: For initial inquiries or detailed information, email is preferred. Phone calls are better for urgent matters or clarifying information already shared.
- What to Say in Your First Message: Be concise and clear. Include your child's name, school, teacher's name (if applicable), and a brief summary of your concern or question. For example, "My child, [Child's Name], at [School Name], is in Mrs. [Teacher's Last Name]'s class. I have a question regarding their IEP goals."
Important Tip: Always follow up any phone conversation with an email summarizing the discussion and any agreed-upon action items. This creates a written record of your communications.
What to Do If You Can't Reach Anyone
If you're having difficulty reaching the appropriate special education staff member, follow these escalation steps:
- Step 1: Contact your child's teacher directly.
- Step 2: If you don't receive a response from the teacher within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., 2 business days), contact the campus Special Education Coordinator or Diagnostician. Their contact information should be available on the school website or by contacting the front office.
- Step 3: If you still need assistance, contact the Round Rock ISD Special Education Director. Their contact information is listed above.
- Step 4: As a last resort, you can file a complaint with the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Refer to Texas Education Code, Chapter 29 for information on special education laws and parent rights.
Your Right to District Records
You have the right to access your child's educational records and certain district information.
Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Round Rock ISD must provide you access to your child's educational records within 45 days of your written request. This includes IEPs, evaluations, and progress reports.
You can also request information about Round Rock ISD staff, including their contact information, under the Texas Public Information Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 552). This act grants the public access to government records, subject to certain exceptions.
To submit a records request, send a written request to the Round Rock ISD Special Education Department. Clearly state the specific records you are requesting and include your child's name, date of birth, and school. You may need to provide proof of guardianship. Keep a copy of your request for your records.
