So here's my dilemma. I have been told that the 504 process in our district is slow moving (6+ weeks). We are also at a new school, so I don't know any of the teachers or administrators. Her main teacher wants to wait and see how she responds to therapy first. However, the math teacher is not taking her vision issues into consideration and is holding her to the scoring requirements.
Don't wait.
I would request a meeting to discuss the disability right away, in writing, addressed to principal, person in charge of special education, and the relevant teachers. You need a 504 plan that includes accommodations for the vision disability. (Does she do better if she works on graph paper? or in Mod Math or Panther Paper apps?)
The school will need help in figuring out what works, and especially in seeing where her disability is affecting her work. The 504 should include accommodations for everyone to follow that will help her be successful ASAP.
