I agree that I'd point out the error in documentation... I would write an email to the IEP team that is very specific about the dates that you communicated with the school over the past year.

Have you signed the IEP document yet? There should be a place in the document for parent comments, and I'd suggest adding your notes about when you gave the school documentation to the comments section too.

The one caveat I'd add - are you worried that this may cause ruffled feathers with the school team, and if so, are you happy up to this point with the school's actions? Was it difficult to get the IEP or not-so-difficult? If you are overall happy and for some reason didn't want to point this out or make an issue of it, I'd consider letting it slide - only because you perceive a low risk of getting into a legal tangle later on, and also because you do have your set of documentation (from the note you mentioned above sent to the school in November) showing that you'd made the school aware of the eval. You'll still always have that evidence if you need it.

I have a question that's really unrelated to the advice you'd requested so I apologize that it's a bit OT, but fwiw, I'm confused about something in general. You've mentioned your dd had a triennial review in October, but she was on a 504 plan, not an IEP. I thought (or at least the way it works in our state), students who qualify for IEPs have triennial reviews at which continuing eligibility for services is assessed. Students on IEPs also have an annual meeting to review progress toward goals and to update goals/accommodations as needed for the next school year. Students who have 504 plans have an annual meeting to update the 504 and/or determine if it needs to stay in place, but there is no triennial review for 504 students.

Is a triennial review for 504 students typical elsewhere?
