What are the requirements for an elementary student to be promoted?
CategoriesDepartment |
Elementary Promotion and Intervention Criteria and Procedures:
The educational program shall provide for the continuous progress of students. Promotion to the next grade in the elementary school is based upon meeting grade level proficiency standards. Continuous, quarterly, and end-of-year grade level assessments are given to document student progress.
Students not meeting promotion requirements are guaranteed school-based intervention services throughout the academic year to maximize opportunities for promotion. Intervention strategies may include, but are not limited to, alternative learning models, modified homework, tutorial sessions, extended school day, Saturday school, modified instructional programs, and parental involvement.
Some students may benefit from spending two years in one grade. Parent consultation and involvement, including notification before February, are required when students are at risk of not meeting promotion requirements. Assessment documents will be reviewed by a review committee to make a placement recommendation to the principal in the event that a student is at risk of not meeting promotion requirements. The placement options for students scoring below end-of-year proficiency are promotion with focused intervention and, as a last resort, retention with focused intervention.
