Parent News
Welcome to the BVSD Parent Page for Special Education. We're glad you found us!
- For families new to BVSD or to Special Education, here is our Special Education Welcome Packet, and it's in Spanish here. It contains tips from parents, IEP basics and more. We also recommend this resource: Getting Started in Special Education from PEAK Parent Center / Iniciando la Educación Especial (Edades 3-21).
- For families with BVSD students with an IEP, if you need assistance, please see this process for whom to contact: Getting Help in BVSD flowchart, which starts with contacting your child's school. For more information, please see: Reporting Concerns.
Check out our Beyond High School Readiness and Resources page with college supports, videos, checklists and more!
