NEW TO MGSD?

If you are new to Mooresville Graded School District and have questions about special education, please review the information on our webpage or contact the school to which your student will be assigned.  In order to make your student's transition into Mooresville Graded School District go smoothly, it is very important to provide your student's new school copies of the following information during registration:

• Most recent psychoeducational report, eligibility, evaluation, and/or reevaluation report;
• Current individualized education plan (IEP); and 
• Contact information for your student's previous school and school district.
• These items will support a successful transition between your student's old and new school and will ensure that appropriate services and supports are made available.

What to Expect

For out-of-state students new to Mooresville Graded School District:

Once you have shared your student's special education records, school staff will invite you to a meeting to discuss comparable services, or services similar to or the same as, those provided on your student's most recent IEP.  During the meeting, school staff will also describe the initial eligibility process that occurs when students move from out of state and the timeline in which an initial North Carolina (NC) IEP will be developed.

For in-state students new to Mooresville Graded School District:

School staff will begin implementing your student's current NC IEP on their first day of school.  An invitation to review and revise your student's IEP may be scheduled.  The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss your student's transition to a new school and to determine if any adjustments to the services and supports currently provided are needed.

Private/Home school families seeking possible special education eligibility for their child:

The parent/guardian will need to contact the MGSD school to which the student would be assigned based on their home address or the address of the private school.
