Forms

Before creating a new form, check to make sure the form needed is not in the list of forms on the Student Detail View. If it doesn't exist, click on the Create Form button.

Select the form from the drop-down list.  If the forms contain information addressed directly to the parent or guardian, the form will also have an AS (Adult Student) version.  The AS version will address the student directly, rather than the parent, and can be used for students 18 and older. 

The forms options are specific to the type of event selected. For example, forms that start with A- (assessment) are found in the Initial and Re-Evaluation events.

Search for the student either by entering their last name in the search field on the Dashboard, or by clicking Students on the top navigation; select a district and click view by the student's name. Then click on Edit by the form to update. Forms from previous years, with a few exceptions, are read-only and may be viewed in V3.

Data will prefill from form to form when the forms are created in order. For example, the IEP participants added to the I-1 Invite will prefill on the I-2 Cover Sheet.

1. Information from the Student Detail View prefills onto the forms. A snapshot of the student detail view data is taken and prefills onto all the forms in an event. *If the information on the student detail view is updated and needs to be updated on the existing forms, click the checkbox next to "Apply changes to current event" on the student detail view.  
2. “Dear” prefills from the Student Detail View>Parent/Guardian Details tab.
3. “Other” indicates any other guardian who may be invited.

1. Time field allows the time to be selected from the clock. 
2. Date field options allow the date to be selected from a calendar picker.
3. Add location of the meeting
4. Indicate if the meeting is virtual, and add a virtual URL if needed.

1. The Add Another link will add another set of fields for IEP Participants.
2. The X will remove the row of data.
3. Prefills for contact information can be added under Toolbox>Settings/Preferences>Contacts. Once the contacts are added, they will be in the drop down Contacts options to select.
4. Use this space to add any other information or options that were considered when scheduling.

1. Check this box to open the Print Preview after selecting one of the button options.
2. Save as Draft will save the form as a draft. The word DRAFT will show as a watermark on the form when printed. No validations will appear when Saved as Draft. Clicking Save as Draft will return the user to the Student Detail View. 
3. Save as Final will require that all the required fields are filled in. Fields will turn red and validation error messages will appear at the bottom of the screen if all validated parts of the form are not completed correctly. NOTE: Clicking Save as Final will require that all validation errors are corrected before the form will save. Save as Final only saves if there are no validations errors. When the form has successfully Saved as Final, the user will be returned to Student Detail View. 
4. Save in Progress is a historical button that was used prior to SEEDS forms changing. While it still appears on forms, it is best to avoid this button. Instead, use Save as Draft (when brainstorming or still in edit mode) and Save as Final (when ready to correct all of the validations). 
5. Cancel will return the form to the status it was when it was opened.
6. Print Preview will open the print view of the form.
7. Back to Top will shift the view of the form to the top of that form.

Linking Sections on the I-3 IEP

The I-3 IEP form supports the connecting sections of the IEP, as instructed by DPI, to show the linking of student need to the goals and services provided. These functions continue to prefill throughout the form.

The Disability Related Needs (tab II on the I-3) is the first part of the “linking” process. It must be filled out for the Disability Related Needs to show in the  IV. Goals and Objectives tab. You can add Disability Related Needs while working on the IEP, and the new needs will populate once the form is saved (either by the save functions at the bottom or by moving between tabs).

Goals and Objectives

The Disability-Related Needs will then populate above each goal that is created so the staff can select as many needs that relate to that specific goal.

Special Education/Specially Designed Instruction

Once the Goal Title has been completed for each goal (see picture above), the Goal Title will populate to the Program Summary tab. Each table within the Specially Designed Instruction chart will have an additional column to link the Related Goals and Unselected Disability Related Needs. Multiple goals or needs can be chosen for each service. Only the Disability Related Needs that have NOT been connected to a goal will carry over to this section.

Progress Report Options

Data Collection Form

The Data Collection form is a tool in SEEDS to inform the administrative personnel of the changes which need to take place regarding the student’s placement, services, dismissal, impairments, the physical location of the education program, environmental codes or other changes noted from the IEP/Placement meeting. Most of the data on the form will prefill from the existing forms.

The Educational Environment calculator (tab I) can be used to determine the amount of time the student spends in general education. This calculator will give the < 5-year-old codes for a 5-year-old student and then offer another calculator to determine the >6 codes and automatically update it on the child's 6th birthday.

1. After the data on the data collection form is verified, there is an Update Student Information Form checkbox, available by permission, to update the Student Detail View with the data collected on this form.
