Creating a new IEP document

Once all assessments have been completed for a student an Individualized Education Program (IEP) must be developed. The IEP team, which includes the student's parents or guardians, works together to develop and finalize the IEP document.

The IEP document is created in SESIS. A new IEP document must be created for each student who receives special education services every year, or when it is determined that a change must be made to the existing document.

Important: IEPs can also be created in SESIS for Turning 5 students.

1. Locate the student's profile.
