CONSENT FOR SERVICES Available ONLY on the print menu If you need a blank consent for services, you have to go to an Initial IEP, then go to print menu

STUDENT NOT ELIGIBLE If a student is not going to go to an IEP but you need a PWN to document this, you would need to create an IEP and add PWN. Make sure to print what you need to send, then mark on EDW not eligible and click the ‘End Child Find’ button on the CF tab.
