CURRENT EVENTS

The Department of Defense was appropriated $945 million to construct, renovate, repair, or expand elementary and secondary public schools on military installations. Identified by the Secretary of Defense to administer the grant funding, the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) follows a priority list approved by the Deputy Secretary of Defense in 2011 (2011 Priority List) to determine priority to those military installations with schools having the most serious capacity or facility condition deficiencies. Combining appropriations received with the 2011 Priority List, the Public Schools on Military Installations (PSMI) program was created.

Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake’s (NAWS) Murray Middle School (MS) was assessed #4 and Burroughs High School (HS) was assessed #10 on the 2011 Priority List driven by both condition and capacity deficiencies. The local education authority that manages and operates the Murray MS and Burroughs HS is the Sierra Sands Unified School District (SSUSD).

In total OEA awarded a $65.1 million between 2012 and 2017 while SSUSD provided $15.9 million. Specifically, OEA awarded a $31. 6 million grant for Murray MS and a $25.5 million grant for Burroughs HS to SSUSD in December 2012. A 20% non-federal match is required by the Public Schools on Military Installations (PSMI) program, and the SSUSD provided $7.9 million and $6.4 million in local funding, respectively.

In January 2017, OEA awarded supplemental federal grant funding of $3.2 million matched by $800 thousand in local funding and $4.8 million that was matched by $800 thousand in local funding, respectively, due to a number of unforeseen site conditions.

Unlike the old Murray MS, the new Murray MS provides a 21st century learning and teaching environment with permanent modular construction and a different geographical location. The cost effective design features still include use of environmentally safe materials to the maximum extent possible while also meeting threat force protection requirements. Desert landscaping and numerous other design features assist Murray MS with curbing water use and conserving energy. Also, students now have access to a modern gymnasium enabling a more robust physical education, athletic events, and the arts.

Burroughs HS modernization provides the opportunity for a wider range of curriculum to take place in a modern setting at the existing geographic location. Energy cost savings will be realized from the removal and replacement of antiquated heating and cooling, also reducing noise in the classrooms thus enabling teachers and students to more effectively focus on course material. Threat force protection requirements have been incorporated throughout the entire campus. Safety is greatly enhanced with the change in orientation of the campus through

Ribbon Cutting Ceremonythe addition of a new Administration Building. Now, faculty have visibility on those entering the campus, and visitors go directly to the Administration Building without transiting the main portion of the campus. Students have been resilient during the construction and transitions. Final completion of a few items is set for the coming summer months.

On Friday, May 2 SSUSD was pleased to host the Burroughs High School Modernization Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with greeting and introductions, Color Guard, Flag Salute, National Anthem, Retire the Colors, U.S. Navy FLYOVER and remarks. The ceremony was followed by a tour of a Classroom building, Quad, and New Administration Building. SSUSD was also pleased to host the New Murray Middle School Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with opening remarks, remarks by Senator Jean Fuller, Congressman Kevin McCarthy and Acting Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserves, Mr. Robert Wood. The ceremony was followed by a tour of the new campus, with special attention on the science classrooms. Additionally, refreshments were supplied by Burroughs HS Restaurant Careers Class.

In attendance were Department of Defense officials, Federal legislators, State legislators, City officials, officials from the California and Kern County Department of Education, members of the Office of Public School Construction, school officials and staff, former SSUSD staff, alumni and students and construction partners.

APRIL IS

Month of theMilitary ChildEach year at this time our nation recognizes the contribution the military child makes as their parent or parents serve, either on active duty or in a reserve component, in the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard.

Today, there are nearly two million military connected children. As students, they move and change schools about three times more frequently than their civilian classmates. They live with the challenges presented by not only frequent moves, but parental deployments, and a host of life transitions including reintegration and, for too many, the return of a profoundly changed parent.

More than 900,000 of these children have had a parent deploy multiple times and more than 44,700 children are living with a parent’s wound, injury, illness, or death. For most military-connect-ed children, they have known the meaning of war and felt the impacts of it on their family through-out their young lives. In their own way, they too, serve our country.

The month of April is a perfect time to pause and acknowledge their sacrifices, resilience, and strength of character. Whether it is by public proc-lamations, special activities and events, or simply a few kind words spoken to a military-connected child, we encourage everyone to seek out oppor-tunities to express appreciation for these remark-able children!

ACADEMIC UPDATES

Nevada high school graduates have had both the largest five-year increase and three-year increase in the percentage of public high school graduates demonstrating college readiness on their Advanced Placement (AP) Exams. Nevada saw increases of 6.6 percent over the past three years and 8.2 percent over the past five years of students earning a 3 or higher on their AP Exams.

In May 2017, Nevada high school students took a total of 18,878 AP Exams that resulted in scores of 3 or higher, which demonstrates college readiness. Based on Nevada students’ opportunity to earn at least three college credits for each AP Exam of 3 or higher, this represents an estimated 56,634 college credits.

“Our high school graduates are the fastest improving in the nation on the AP Exam,” said Steve Canavero, Ph.D., Superintendent of Public Instruction. “At an average rate of $242 per credit hour, the total potential cost savings for our state’s students and families was nearly $14 million. That’s good for our economy and the development of the skilled workforce that Nevada’s new economy is demanding.”

Overall, Nevada’s graduating class of 2017 was 14th in the nation, scoring a 3 or higher on an AP Exam with 24.7 percent exceeding the mark. Nationally, 22.8 percent exceeded a 3 or higher. Nevada has shown tremendous improvement over the past decade. In 2007, only 14.2 percent of Nevada students scored a 3 or higher.

Nevada will continue to lead the nation in AP increases through its work to expand access to rural communities. Through its grant making, the Department will work with school districts in rural communities to provide digital access to a dozen Advanced Placement classes through existing programs, resources, and teachers available in Clark County. Next year students all across Nevada will be able to access AP classes at their school library or even on the bus to and from school.

Nevada students demonstrated the highest rate of success in Student Art: 2-D Design Portfolio, and Spanish Language and Culture AP Courses. Approximately 90 percent of the students who took these two AP Exams scored a 3 or higher.

The College Board also tracks students from the graduating class to determine whether graduating seniors had AP potential to succeed in college freshman courses. By race/ethnicity, 86 percent of American Indian/Alaska Native students from this data set took the AP STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Exam; 74 percent of Asian students took the AP STEM Exam; 49 percent of Black/African American students took the AP STEM Exam; 59 percent of Hispanic/Latino students took the AP STEM Exam and 59 percent of the White students took the AP STEM Exam.

Nevada is focused on expanding participation in the AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) course as a career pathway leading to 2,731 computing jobs that are currently open in Nevada. In December 2016, Governor Brian Sandoval announced that Nevada would partner with the College Board and Code.org to expand computer science coursework in the state. The Nevada Legislature followed up with legislation in 2017 that requires a computer science course in every public and charter high school in the state. Of the 304 Nevada students who took the initial AP CSP exam last May, 66 percent earned a score of 3 or higher.

The College and Career Readiness (CCR) and the Title IV, A competitive grants provide opportunities for districts to expand access to AP courses and funding for students to take AP exams. Districts

may apply for funds to subsidize the cost of AP Exams for low-income and other traditionally underserved students. The Nevada Department of Education awarded more than $650,000 in the CCR grant to expand access to AP courses and over $350,000 of that was used specifically to pay for AP Exam fees, which

amounts to 6,767 exams at the free and reduced priced lunch rate. In addition, the Department awarded nearly $100,000 in Title IV, A funding for exam fees for rural students and to provide access to AP courses for rural districts.

“I would like to call out the Clark County School District for going above and beyond in promoting the AP Exams for low income students,” said Seng-Dao Yang Keo, NDE Director of the Office of Student and School Supports. “Using Title I, district and state grant funds, CCSD AP Exam takers received $698,164 in AP Exam assistance.”

MILITARY INTERSTATECHILDREN’S COMPACTCOMMISSION

CALIFORNIAPUBLIC SCHOOLS’

ATTENDANCEPOLICIES

Over the past several years, the academic expectations from school-age children has increased dramatically. According to research from Applied Survey Research & Attendance Works, kindergarten and 1st grade students who miss 10% or more days of school in the school year can be significantly behind their peers by 3rd grade. Even those students who excel academically are put at a disadvantage when they are absent.

To encourage on-time, regular attendance, the California Department of Education has added absences to California’s new accountability system (how schools are scored), increasing pressure on schools to work closely with families whose children are in jeopardy of being chronically absent.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE KEY TERMS Excused Absence: Excused absences are defined in California Education Code 48205 and include illness, medical or dental appointments, funeral of immediate family member, jury duty, quarantine and for the purpose of spending time with a member of the pupil’s immediate family, who is active duty and is on leave from or returning from deployment to a combat zone (check with your school on eligibility).

Unexcused Absence: Any absence not covered under excused absences. Absence must still be verified by parent/guardian

Truant: A student who is absent from school without a valid excuse three full days in one school year or tardy or absent for more than a 30-minute period during the school day without a valid excuse on three occasions in one school year, or any combination thereof, shall be classified as a truant(Education Code Section 48260).

Chronic Truant: Any pupil who is absent (unexcused) from school for ten percent or more of the school days in one school year (Education Code Section 48263.6).

Chronic Absences: Any pupil who is absent from school (excused and unexcused) for ten percent or more of the school days in one school year (Education Code Section 48263.6).

SARB: School Attendance Review Boards are composed of representatives from various youth-serving agencies and help truant students and their parents or guardians solve school attendance problems if the problem has not been solved at the school level.

• Members who die on active duty, for a period of one year after death• Uniformed members of the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and United States Public Health Services (USPHS)

STUDENTS NOT COVEREDChildren of the following:• Inactive members of the National Guard and Reserves (Not Title 10)• Members now retired not covered above• Veterans not covered above• Other Department of Defense personnel, federal agency civilians and contract employees not defined as active duty• Members other than the uniformed personnel of NOA and USPHS

ACADEMIC UPDATES


HOMESCHOOL LINKAGE

To weight or not to weight? That is the question.Because Honors and AP courses are more demanding, some schools give more weight to them. Instead of a class being 1.0 credit, they assign it 1.25 or 1.5 credits. Whether you weight or not is really a personal choice, as is so much of this process.

Keep in Mind:Many schools unweight each applicant’s grades before reviewing the transcript. Why? Because there is no standard in the way schools weight courses. Some base it on a 4.0 scale, others on a 5.0 or 6.0 scale. In order to streamline the process, admissions officers recalculate on an unweighted 4.0 scale (many times excluding electives). They then assess those courses according to their school’s particular rubric used when evaluating an applicant.It seems that unweighted grades are the way to go, right?

However…Some schools use weighted grades for scholarship purposes. If your student is going to compete with others from schools that weight courses, you should consider doing the same.What is the best way to know if the schools on your homeschooler’s list use weighted grades for scholarships? Call and ask.

Should I label my courses Honors or AP?If an outsourced course is labeled Honors or AP, certainly call it that on your transcript. If you think the course is much more demanding than a typical

high school course, feel free to call it Honors. How much it matters depends on the specific admissions officer and if those grades are backed up by thorough course descriptions and/or SAT II or AP scores.

IMPORTANT: AP courses must be officially approved by College Board. If your course has not been officially approved, you may not list it as such on the transcript.

Should I include SAT scores, ACT scores, SAT 2 scores, and AP scores?Test scores can be included, UNLESS applying test-optional (choosing to not send scores to a test-optional school.) For obvious reasons, you would not want those scores on the transcript.

Also important: Do NOT self-report those scores in the Com-mon App. Many applicants think they are required to put scores in the application when asked! They are not and should not, if you are applying test optional.

Do I send all transcripts and official grade reports from outsourced classes?There is no need to send every transcript or grade report. Here are the basic guidelines for what gets sent and what doesn’t.College or University Courses taken during High School: Ask the school to send grades directly to colleges.

Online Courses: Sometimes online providers offer an official grade report. Your homeschooler takes English from one provider and math from another? Unless your

student has taken the bulk of their classes from that provider, just transfer the grade onto your homeschool transcript.

What if my child attended a brick and mortar school or an online school before homeschooling?If your homeschooler’s high school years included a school that was not legally a homeschool, you have two choices.• Your transcript only includes the homeschool years.• Your transcript includes all four years.

When this gets tricky: If you cannot easily translate the former high school grades into your homeschool grading system and GPA calculation, leave those years out. College admissions officers prefer that we not translate the other school’s grades ourselves. Leave that to them. They see students from a variety of schools, grading systems, and transcripts. They would prefer to do the interpreting themselves.

Former Homeschoolers Who Currently Attend a High School: Create and send a transcript (with course descriptions and counselor recommendation letter) directly to the school. This clears up any questions admissions officers have regarding the specifics of their homeschool education.

Do I include middle school courses?In general, middle school courses should not be listed. The high school transcript is a transcript for high school courses.

However, look at each school’s requirements. Do they require 4 years of each subject? Do you need that 8th grade Algebra course on the transcript to meet those requirements? If so, then include it. If not, then it’s not necessary.

The two middle school subjects, if taken at a high school level, acceptable to put on a high school transcript are Math and Foreign Language.

Do I include Fall Semester 12th grade classes?Yes, include 12th grade fall semester classes with grades if the timing is right. If you are applying Early Action or Early Decision, include the names of the courses and note that that they are in progress. If applying at the completion of fall semester, do include those grades. It can make a difference.

TIP: If fall semester grades are particularly strong and they weren’t sent with the original transcript, send them to the school. If a student is considered a borderline applicant, a strong senior year could have an impact!

Do I include Spring Semester 12th grade classes?As with the fall classes, list any spring classes as “in progress” or “IP.” The grades for those classes will be sent with the counselor’s final report. And, yes, you will send a final report with an updated and “FINAL” transcript. Be sure to include the graduation date on that final transcript.

How can your homeschool transcript tell your high schooler’s story? As the homeschool counselor, you have the opportunity to reflect the quality and uniqueness of your child’s education. Provide a transcript that balances the “wow” factor with the “clarity” factor! One way you do this is by understanding (and choosing) what to include and what NOT to include on the homeschool transcript.

HOMESCHOOL LINKAGE

Can I include independent projects?Look at the application in its entirety. When put together, the application should reveal all that your homeschooler is. There are two places independent projects and studies can go - on the activities list or on the transcript. First, ask yourself if the independent study involved enough hours. If so, the transcript is an option. Then ask yourself if it is worthy of a course description, rather than the 150 characters available in the activities section of the Common App. If so, the transcript is the way to go.

Do I include electives on the transcript?If the electives are interesting and important to the student’s story, include those electives. If they are physical educativon or health, there is no need to include them.

What does NOT go on a transcript?Activities, awards, and course descriptions do not belong on the transcript, especially if using the Common App. There are specific sections to list those items. If not using the Common App, and there is no section to include such accomplishments, consider creating a separate document.

TRANSITION SUPPORT

For your kids, moving to a new duty station means changing schools. Here’s what you and your children need to know about making the transition a smooth one.

An interstate agreement to make the transition easier

The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children is designed to make the school switch easier for military families in participating states — in the areas of enrollment, placement and attendance, eligibility and graduation.

Enrollment: The compact makes it much simpler to get started at a new school.

School records: You can obtain a copy of your child’s school records from their old school to bring to the new one. Use these until the official records arrive.

Immunizations: You have 30 days from the time of enrollment to give your child any new required immunizations.

Kindergarten and first grade: Children can continue in their current class year, even if the new school has a different age requirement.

Placement and attendance:While awaiting evaluation at the new school, the compact helps ensure that your child won’t miss any placement requirements.

Course and program placement: If your child is already in a program, such as advanced placement, the new school must honor that if they have an equivalent.

Placement flexibility: Your child won’t have to repeat basic coursework if they’ve taken something similar already.

Absence related to deployment: Students may request excused absences before, during and after the related deployment period.

Eligibility for activities:Your child’s eligibility for attending school and extracurricular activities won’t be affected.

Enrollment: Your child can continue to attend their same school if they’re living with a relative, friend, or non-custodial parent during the deployment. The guardian will, however, need a power of attorney to enroll or give permission to participate in school activities.

Extracurricular activities: Even if tryouts or application deadlines have passed, the school will help make it possible for the child to participate.

Graduation:With the compact, graduation for kids in high school won’t be affected.

Course waivers: If your child has already completed similar coursework, they can waive courses required for graduation at a new school.

Exit exams: The new school district may accept your child’s exit exams and achievement tests required to graduate from their previous school.

Senior-year transfers: If your student changes school during their senior year, the

two school districts will work together to get a diploma from the former school to ensure on-time graduation.

Exceptional Family MembersIf you’re the parent of a child with special needs, here’s how to make a smooth school transition.

Special education: If the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act covers your child, they have the right to the same services provided by their former school.Timeline: Alert your new school and your medical provider at least 30 days ahead of your move. Request a copy of their complete educational and medical records and submit it to the new school as soon as possible.

Reevaluation: The new school system may reevaluate your child’s eligibility for special education services to determine a new Individualized Education Program, or IEP.

The Education Directory for Children With Special Needs: The directory provides the information you need to make informed decisions about education and early intervention services.Switching schools doesn’t have to be stressful. No matter what age your children are, the transition can be a positive change for the whole family.

A New School for Your Child: Here’s What You Should Know

The Trevor Romain Company has teamed up with the United States Navy to bring the youth of our nation a comprehensive transition and resiliency program in accordance with the Navy School Based Programming standards!

This program has made (and will continue to make) a significant difference in children’s lives by offering positive support and encouragement through the many unique challenges that they face. TRTRP provides transition and resiliency skills to school counselors, teen coordinators, CYP staff, teachers, parents, and students

TRTRP is currently being implemented in 30+ schools in NRSW, and NRSW will be receiving 10 additional trainings this coming year.

TRTRPTrevor Romain Transition and

Resiliency Program

“Anchored for Life!”

TRTRP GOALS:

• Reinforce skills to better connect with their peers and community to cope in healthy ways through transitions.

• Provide growing opportunities to increase competency and character by positively addressing setbacks.

• Build confident leaders who inspire others by contributing to a caring and supportive environment.


Your Command Can Be a Partner in Education!School partnerships can be beneficial for Navy commands and area schools. Sailors get an opportunity to connect with their community while earning community service hours which can be included in evaluations, and toward earning the Volunteer Service Medal.

The benefits for the schools are insurmountable. Students build positive relationships with our service members and feel additionally connected to their military community.

Ultimately it raises awareness of the benefits of working with the military community and helps to support our military children in education.

DEPLOYMENT SUPPORT

The Coping With Deployments course was developed by the American Red Cross specifically to address the stresses and strains that deployments place on the families of service members. The Red Cross worked closely with subject-matter experts from all service branches—along with National Guard and Reserve components—to complement what is offered in their courses.

How will this course help me? This course was designed to assist military families in managing the changes in their lives when their service members are deployed. It provides useful information on how to strengthen your ability to successfully respond to the challenges you may encounter throughout the deployment cycle. It also explains how to provide psychological first aid to others experiencing stressful feelings or events. It includes an adult section, a children’s section and a comprehensive resource and referral section.

Why this course? This is the only national-level course specifically designed for military families, including parents and significant others, that bridges all branches of the Armed Forces and provides hands-on tools to help families cope with deployments. The complete course is approximately 4 ½ hours in length. It can be divided into an adult module (2 ½ hours) or a children’s module (2 hours). The children’s module teaches adults how to support children as a result of changes they may experience due to deployment of a family member.

Who can take the course? The course is available to the family members of Reserve, National Guard and active duty service members, including spouses, older children, parents,

Thinking about Spring Break and Summer Vacation? With some good planning, vacation can be fun and relaxing. Before school is out, sit down with your children and have each of them prepare a list of things that can be done as a family. Each child can draw or write on a poster things they would like to do during the summer. Have each child make an “I’m bored” list of things that might be fun to drive boredom away. If they say they are bored, have them pick something off their list. Mix things up to keep everyone occupied.

Set a daily reading time where everyone reads for 30 minutes. Find out when the library has activities for children. Best of all, they are free. Many of the museums also have a free day.

FLEET & FAMILY SUPPORT CENTERS

Survival Tips for Parents While Your Child Is on Spring Break or Summer Vacation:

Pack a lunch and go explore a museum. Make “the best tent ever” by pulling out all of your blankets and chairs and have the tent overtake your living room or backyard. Tent play can occupy your children for hours. It may also be a great resource to soothe a child by providing a hide-out or quiet place. Place a bean bag chair inside the tent along with books and a flashlight. The base movie theaters often show children’s movies. Get together with other parents and set up times to watch each other’s children so you each have some free time.

There may be a young teen you can hire for a few hours a week to be a mother’s helper to keep the kids busy while you are at home doing other things. Camp in your backyard or go to the

beach and have a bonfire. Take a walk in nature. Engaging your child’s “creative thinker” helps them learn that problems have many different solutions, and when they encounter an obstacle, they can find a way around it rather than giving up on a goal. Creative projects encourage children to find the resources to make what they want, rather than opening up a box that has all the supplies in one place.

Some activities that help encourage creative thinking are: Lacing yarn around large letters, either store bought foam type or type you have to cut out. This activity is a great way to reinforce lessons on the alphabet, while at the same time improving fine motor skills. Kindergartners and first

graders may be able to cut out the letters themselves working on their fine motor skills. All children can partake in a game of memory match. Depending on your child’s learning level, start off with only a few picture cards to match. Get children to say the name of the picture on the card each time they flip it over. You can gradually add more cards and replace the pictures with simple words, such as “dog” or “ball.” Your child can practice writing skills by making a chart of the cards he or she flips over.

These are just a few examples on how to engage your children year round and get them thinking how to have fun creating “outside the box.”

Pack a lunch and go explore a museum.

The possibilities are endless with a little organization,

creativity and imagination.

Enjoy!

School Moves with Children who have an Individual Education Program (IEP)

Moving can be stressful for any military family. For a family with a child who has special needs, the process can be overwhelming. Advance planning, and communicating with key players, will help make the move as seamless as possible, relieving some of the stress of the move.

Start getting organized by creating a binder for important documents. KEEP ALL RECORDS WITH YOU, DO NOT PACK SCHOOL OR MEDICAL RECORDS FOR YOUR CHILD.

Check to make sure your child’s Individual Education Program (IEP) is current. If you are given enough notice of your upcoming move, and a new IEP, or triennial is scheduled this school year, contact your child’s school and ask for the new IEP, or triennial, to be completed at least 6 weeks before your move.

If you do not have copies of your child’s school records, request copies of all information in your child’s files; be sure all evaluations, assessments, reports, IEPs, therapist’s reports, and any related documents are there. Some schools may have a nominal fee for duplication and special education documents may be kept with the Special Education Department, not the school registrar. If you have problems getting your school to provide unofficial copies of documents, contact your School Liaison Officer.

Meet with your child’s case manager/teacher/therapist and ask for letters of introduction for your child’s new school staff. If you know which school your child will be attending, contact the school’s Special Education Department to see if they willaccept your child’s IEP ahead of time for review.

Be sure your child is up to date on all immunizations, get prescriptions refilled, and have at least a one month supply when you move. Keep copies of your child’s medical records with you.

Transfer to your new Tricare region as soon as you arrive in your new duty station. Do not transfer BEFORE or DURING you PCS move or you may lose coverage.

Contact your School Liaison Officer and Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) liaison at your new duty station for assistance with information on schools and resources at your new duty station.

NAVY REGION SOUTHWEST SCHOOL LIAISON

NEWSLETTER APRIL-MAY-JUNE 2018

Q. We received orders to the East Coast. My daughter is in the 1st grade and we are scheduled to leave San Diego in May, before the end of the school year. Her current school will not issue her a report card that says “promotable” to the next grade level because we are leaving early. Her new school on the East Coast will be finished by the time we arrive, so I will not be able to enroll her there. Will my child have to repeat the 1st grade because we are a little more than one month short of completing the school year here in California?

A. In general, students are placed in the grade level based on the grade level achieved. School districts have policies in place for transferring students and what documentation regarding student progress will be provided to the parents. Often times if a student transfers within the last 2 weeks of a reporting period, the district will issue a final report card/grades. If the child is going to transfer with more than 2 weeks left, the district can provide documentation on a student transfer form that would include the child’s current academic progress and placement. Although a student transfer form is not a report card, it will help provide the new school site with academic levels of the student.

Final decision as to placement of the student usually rests with the principal of the school site and based on school board policies. Your child will have completed almost the entire school year for 1st grade. I would suggest working with the new school site and request an academic assessment. Most of the time school staff will place an elementary student in the next grade level, unless there is a significant reason for retaining them.

Q. How much time can my child be out of school if we are transferring from one location to another? Is my child’s new school site going to add up the number of days it took us to transfer and then have those days counted as absences?

A. There are no set guidelines that reference the amount of time a military child can be out of school when transferring from one location to another. When you withdrawal your child from her current school site, you are no longer attached to that district. You are in fact, not attached to any school district. Schools will start to track absences when your child is

ASK A SLOASK A SCHOOL LIAISON OFFICER (SLO)

The CNRSW Navy School Liaison Officers have created a new page to answer parent questions surrounding their children’s academics, district policies, transition situations and any other educational concerns. If you have a question that you would like to submit to the Academic

Anchor, please feel to send your questions to [email protected].

This past month, Navy SLOs have been receiving calls regarding transitions.Below are the questions and answers.

registered at their next school. Your child’s new school site will not add up the amount of days it took your family to transfer to your new location and inform you they are now counted as absences.

Please keep in mind that the amount of time your child is out of school might have a significant impact on your child’s retention of grade level academic knowledge. It is always suggested if possible, to transfer during the semester breaks or at the end of the school year. Middle and High School students run the risk of not receiving final grades for courses completed if they transfer early. If final grades are not received, they might be off track to graduate on time with their peers and have to repeat course work. The School Liaison Officers suggest reviewing the new school’s semester calendar before moving.

Q. We are going to be transferring and wanted to stop to visit with family on our way to our new duty station. I asked my child’s school for an Independent Study Contract so my child can keep up with her school work. My child’s school said that was not possible. Can you explain to me why I cannot use an Independent Student Contract for our transition time to our next location?

A. Independent study is not used to provide academic instruction for students that are no longer registered in their neighborhood school/district. Independent Study is an alternative type of instruction offered to enrolled students and is supervised by credentialed district teachers. It can be used to accommodate students who will be temporarily absent from school, usually due to illness or academic credit issues. Independent Study can be used if the student is enrolled in a school site that offers an independent study as their primary instructional method. Students can also enroll in an Independent Study Program to earn academic credit for special courses outside of the regular school day of attendance. Lastly, students can utilize Independent Study under special circumstances, such as acceleration, schedule conflicts, or to make up “D” or “F” grades.

If you are interested in academic support while you are transitioning to your new location, perhaps your classroom teacher can recommend an educational website, or curriculum text for your child’s grade level.
