A PWN is required when which action occurs?

• A. Conducting an Evaluation
• B. Issuing a Grading Report
• C. Conducting a Parent-Teacher Conference
• D. Notifying About Transportation Changes

Answer: (A)

When a school plans to initiate or change how a student is identified, evaluated, or placed (or how FAPE is provided), it must give parents a prior written notice. Proposing to conduct an evaluation is exactly that kind of action, so a PWN is required. The notice explains what evaluation is being proposed, why it’s being proposed, how it will be conducted, and what the potential impact could be on services or placement, along with the parents’ rights and options. Routine notices like grading reports, parent–teacher conferences, or transportation changes don’t involve proposed changes to identification, evaluation, or placement, so they don’t trigger a PWN.
