Note on accessing after-school activities. Some after-school activities are directly connected to a class (such as a choir or band concert) and the IEP accommodations used during class may also apply and need the support of the special education team. Some activities are separate from a class (such as sports, theater, or clubs) and may require support for the student to access the activity. Families can work with their case manager to set up support.
