Encounters (G/T) Program Student Review
By April of each year, the principal will direct G/T teachers and counselors to review the progress of
each G/T student. If any student is not performing to a level that is acceptable to remain in his G/T
component, the student will be referred to the G/T screening committee for evaluation. (Sufficient
documentation of parent contact must be in the student folder.) The screening committee will
review, evaluate, and recommend continued placement or removal from the G/T component.
Dyslexia
At any time that a student continues to struggle with one or more components of reading, the
individual school will collect additional information about the student. Schools will use this
information to evaluate the student’s academic progress and determine what actions are needed to
ensure the student’s improved academic performance. A 504 committee determines the
identification of dyslexia after reviewing all accumulated data including a formal assessment.
Students with dyslexia will be placed in Aldine's Multisensory Academic Program for dyslexia
intervention. Students will attend intervention in accordance with Tier III/RtI recommendations and
progress monitoring will occur weekly. Upon completion of the dyslexia intervention program,
students will be placed on monitor status. Students who have been exited from dyslexia intervention
will be monitored every nine weeks for the first year and every semester thereafter through grade 12.
Annual 504 meetings will occur between November and December each school year to ensure that
proper accommodation plans are in place to meet each individual dyslexic student's needs.
O. SUMMER SCHOOL/EXTENDED YEAR PROGRAM
Summer school principals will be appointed and the location of the schools will be approved by the
superintendent. All policies and regulations will be reviewed each year by the staff members
responsible for their particular area of instruction.
All summer school and extended year funds will be accounted for in an accurate manner. Deposit
summer school monies in the summer school account at the Central Office.
In order for a student to attend summer school or extended year in Aldine they must be enrolled in an
Aldine school and, the student's parent or legal guardian must be a resident in the Aldine district for
the majority of the school year. Exceptions to this policy may be made by the building principal if
adequate proof of residence is supplied before the end of the school year. Children of Aldine
employees may attend an Aldine summer school regardless of residence.
Special Education Extended School Year (ESY) will be provided as a result of ARD decision,
usually at a centralized location.
