Yes my daughter has an IEP back in 2017 when she entered the school system at 3 years old. She was diagnosed with dyslexia I believe last year. The end of last year I began talking to the school about summer school vs retention sine I did not any improvements especially in reading and math. The test that shows to me no improvement is the Beginning of school year middle and end of the school year assessments. She also takes exams regular tests to see her level of understanding and progress. That is what I use to base my decisions when talking to the school. The main reason the school gives at not wanting to retain is because of her friends and social mental set backs. I believe I know my daughter and those are not issues that would affect her much. My daughter is very social and capable of making new friends and adapt well. I rather do it now than later when she to age that will affect her. I don’t understand why the school is resisting so much.

My daughter is 8 yrs and has CP is wheelchair bound and has one on one services. My daughter is also dyslexic and is having learning issues with reading and writing. I have since my daughter was in prek to be retained due to her in my eyes not performing at an appropriate level for her age. Also back then my daughter was missing lots of school days due to health. Last year she missed almost 2 months. I asked for her to be home bound they said no. Then when she returned I asked that she be retain because she was already behind prior to her absence so I knew she was further behind to be promoted to 3 rd grade especially with STAARS. I asked for summer school and denied again. They said my daughter was performing well all 70 no improvement. But in her test she showed below average and at risk. Their thing now is to wait and see how she does on the STAARS. Am I out of line requesting a retention? Or for summer school services?
