Basic Skills
The
Basic Skills Program is a remediation program that provides help to
struggling students in the
classroom.
Basic Skills in the Classroom
Basic skills students are taught in the setting of their own classrooms. A basic skills teacher and or teaching aide will be present in the classroom to provide extra help to the basic skills student.
Placement in the Basic Skills Program
In the beginning of the year students are chosen to be part of our Basic Skills Program. A student is chosen for the program if he/she meets two out of the three set criteria.
Criteria 1- An At-Risk form has been
completed for a student based on his/her last year's performance.
This form is completed by the child's last year's teacher.
Criteria 2 - The student was previously in the Basic Skills program.
Criteria 3 - The student did not test proficient on the NJ ASK Test/Terra
Nova Test.
* Kindergarten is the exception. Kindergarten
students are placed in the program based on the At-Risk Forms filled
out by the previous year's teacher.
How do I know my child is in the Basic
Skills Program?
A letter will be sent
home in the beginning of the year to parents whose child is in the
program.
