E.C. Students

If you are new to Anderson Creek Academy and have questions about special education, please visit our Parent Resource Page or contact Mrs. Piro-Duffin via email at piro-duffinm@acacharter.com. In order to make your student's transition into Anderson Creek Academy go smoothly, it is very important to provide your student's new school copies of the following information during registration:

• Most recent Psychoeducational report, eligibility, evaluation, and/or reevaluation report;

• Current individualized education program (IEP); and

• Contact information for your student's previous school and school district.

These items will support a successful transition between your student's old and new school and will ensure that appropriate services and supports are made available.

What to Expect

For out-of-state students:

Once you have shared your student's special education records, school staff will invite you to a meeting to discuss comparable services, or services similar to or the same as, provided on your student's most recent IEP. During the meeting, school staff will also describe the initial eligibility process that occurs when students move from out of state and a timeline in which an initial North Carolina (NC) IEP will be developed.

For in-state students but new to Anderson Creek Academy:

School staff will begin implementing your student's current NC IEP on their first day of school. An invitation to review and revise your student's IEP may be scheduled. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss your student's transition to a new school and to determine if any adjustments to the services and supports currently provided are needed.
