​​​​Families of students with IEP’s:

South Lake IEP team has met with your elementary school IEP teams to assist in the transition of special education supports and class scheduling for each student. South Lake Case Carriers personally handle the individual scheduling of each student with an IEP, to ensure the correct courses and services are in place, based on your current IEP team’s recommendations. South Lake Case Carriers will be reaching out to families to introduce themselves at the beginning of the school year. You may contact your current IEP team for any additional questions at this time.
