-How will present IST paperwork/files be distributed to new buildings as we reconfigure? It will be the same as many other records that have to be transferred. A master list of students leaving that particular school will be created and all accompanying records will be culled together and delivered to the principal of the new school.
-Will there be a universal method for entering or recording IST information?
(It is hoped that each building will use the same format so
that students who do move to a new catchment area are dealt with
similarly. It will also be important for
the Middle School staff to receive data on students that follows the same
format. Yes. This is something we
should probably do anyway.
-Will the
current ˝ day Pre-K be full day or ˝ day next year? We will have 3 full day
programs and 2 half-day programs.
