Receiving a Prior Written Notice (PWN) can feel like the end of the conversation—but it’s really just the beginning. This webinar shows you how to respond to a PWN in ways that protect your rights, clarify misunderstandings, and influence future decisions. You’ll learn when to agree, when to object, and how to ask the right follow-up questions. Whether you’re accepting an offer, contesting a denial, or just unsure what to say, this session will help you write a response that matters.

✅ You'll learn how to:

  • Decide when to accept, disagree, or request clarification on a PWN

Frequently asked questions

Who should attend this webinar?

Parents who’ve received a PWN—or know they will—and want to feel prepared, not panicked, when it shows up in their inbox.

Why should I respond to a PWN at all?

Because silence can be interpreted as agreement. Responding helps you clarify your position and build a documented trail of advocacy.

What if I don’t understand what the PWN says?

We’ll teach you how to decode it, identify missing pieces, and ask smart follow-up questions that protect your child’s rights.

Is there a deadline for responding to a PWN?

No... but prompt, written responses are best for keeping timelines on track and ensuring your voice is part of the record.

Can I use AI or templates to help write my response?

Yes! We’ll show you how to personalize templates and use clear language that gets noticed—and respected by the school team.
