NECAPs are the New England something something assessment somethings something-
They're the standardized tests for kids in New England to see where we stack up. They're administered from 3rd-8th grade.
I have to admit to cringing whenever I receive mail from the school. I assume the worst. We get practically everything general home in the backpack, and if it is something of the more urgent variety, we get a robocall from the school. So a letter home means something specific to one of my kids.
So when I saw the "to the parents of: " letter in the mail the other day I was a bit on edge.
I've been reading the horror stories of other parents on the TSA facebook page, about IEPs not being followed and lack of notice of 504 plan meetings.
I have to say that we've been blessed with a wonderful, amazing, communicative school district and teacher.
So, the letter.
I opened and found that during NECAP testing Liam would be provided with extended time, small group seating, and frequent breaks to walk or rock in the rocking chair.
*huge sigh of relief*
Followed by email communication from Liam's teacher to let me know that he would be taking the test in a different room with her co-teacher to provide him with fewer distractions and better ease of letting her know when he needed breaks.
I wish other moms were able to point to my son's school and say "this is how you do it right".
