Seeking Willard Middle School family advice, with kids with IEPs
We are thinking about moving from one Berkeley Middle School to another. My kid would be in 7th grade in the Fall. We would love advice and haven't found any families where the child has an IEP.
It would be most helpful to find families with a child who has an IEP and is in some or all general education classes.
It could be a quick phone call. Our questions are around the teachers, extra support and things like the ability to take breaks, the Learning Center or a quiet place to that breaks or work, lunch options other than inside the cafeteria.
Thank you in advance.

My kid is an 8th grader at Willard, with an IEP. Feel free to contact me!
It’s been a few years but Willard was very supportive of our child with an IEP. In particular Joel Turner who is one of the Special Ed Case Manager there was amazing. Unfortunately the Principal Debbie Dean is now at the District Offices. I know Joel is still there and I cannot recommend him more highly.
