The mission of the Student Achievement Services and Special Education Department of Cherry Creek Schools is to prevent the misidentification of students as disabled, develop Individualized Education Plans (IEP’s) for students with disabilities with fidelity to the procedures mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), deliver quality instruction to students with disabilities and, finally, be accountable to the learning of students with disabilities.
This mission is delivered through preventative services, IEP specialized instruction and related services for students identified as disabled under the IDEA. It is further delivered by the monitoring of student progress and the accountability to student learning.

Attention Parents

Colorado Department of Education Parent Survey

Some parents may be receiving a survey from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE).  Following is an explanation of the survey and a contact person from CDE in the event you have questions.

Under Part B of the individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Colorado is required to develop a State Performance Plan (SPP) that evaluates the State’s efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of IDEA Part B and how the State will improve its implementation. The SPP contains measurable and rigorous targets in 20 indicators that were established by the US Department of Education. Colorado uses a parent survey to measure Indicator 8: Parent Involvement. Our administrative unit (AU) has been selected to participate in this spring’s parent survey. We want to thank our families for taking the time to help us improve education and services for students with disabilities by the completion of this survey.


For more information, please contact Cindy Dascher, Colorado Department of Education, 303-866-6876 or dascher_c@cde.state.co.us
