The registration form has been updated:

Registration Form


As you might notice, the registration form is different. We still have IRI testing, but we do not have ISAT testing. Teachers usually know who needs to attend, based on assessments and classroom performance. There is a box for all grades K-5 to enter current grades and any important comments and concerns. If you were the receiving teacher, what would you like to know. The more info you provide, the more the summer school teacher can address the specific concerns that a student has.

Here are the IRI numbers for how many qualify, just for K-3rd, based on Fall IRI:

Fall 2013	K	1	2	3	Total School
Bickel	15	26	30	13	84
Harrison	42	18	14	16	90
I.B. Perrine	34	15	13	9	71
Lincoln	26	16	18	18	78
Morningside	25	24	23	13	85
Oregon Trail	33	20	30	14	97
Sawtooth	5	9	11	7	32
Total Grade	180	128	139	90

Please consider these items when deciding which students to refer for summer school:

1. Students close to grade level, the bubble students, are perfect candidates.
2. Students who are significant disruptions to the learning in the classroom: probably not the best candidates for summer school. We do not have a behavior para.
3. Students significantly below grade level: probably not the best candidates for summer school, as 4 weeks will probably not be sufficient time for their needs.
4. Resource students are fine if they are close to grade level or speech/language, especially students who may have exited or will be exiting off of an IEP soon.
5. LEP students are perfect, as there will be an ESL teacher.
6. Homeless students are perfect candidates.
7. Students who have taken off and shown significant growth are perfect candidates.
