Summer School
- I have the list and I will reach out to the appropriate teams and teachers. The short story is this; our student population was divided into regions and students were ranked according to “need”. Attendance, past dibels, Lexia, SPED, EL were some of the factors that weighed into the need-ranking. Based on the ranking in our region we have been allotted 2 spots for current 1st graders for the elementary summer schools. There is a small chance we may be offered a space in one or two other grade levels in the coming weeks, but right now there are far more students showing a greater need just in our region when compared to our Highland kids.
- For Middle Schools it’s a little different; The ranking system is similar, but the capacity for their summer school program is higher so we have 5 spots for current 5th graders. I don’t have much information on the middle school programs at the moment, but I am hopeful that is coming soon.
