MARYSVILLE MOUNTAIN VIEW

Arts & Technology and Marysville Mountain View High Schools share the same building and offer flexible scheduling, accelerated credit earning and credit retrieval opportunities, more personal connections between staff and students, and future focused instruction. A & T and MMV are unique in that they operate on a 3 trimester, 5 period day. This schedule provides students the opportunity to earn up to 7.5 credits a year. Each trimester runs 12 weeks and there are 3 trimesters per school year. Each course period is approximately 72 minutes, and traditional year-long courses run two of the three trimesters. The standard student schedule includes five courses each

trimester, and teachers teach 4 classes each trimester. Typically, each trimester class is the

equivalent of a full semester class and two trimesters of an academic course is the equivalent of a full year course. Some courses may run three terms. All 9th and 10th grade students participate in AVID, and students will be provided time during the school day to support their completion of Naviance. A & T/MMV also allows students to earn and retrieve credit in a variety of settings including Alternative Learning Experience (ALE) Remote options.

Special Education Services

At all of our high schools, a large continuum of services is available to meet the needs of

students who qualify for special education services. While the most impacted students (who

require significant infrastructure supports like showers, time-out rooms, etc.) may be

recommended to attend Marysville Pilchuck High School, most other students can be served

at the other high schools as well. When possible and reasonable for the student, the student

will be served at his/her school of choice.

Our mission is to assist all students with disabilities to benefit from their educational

program, alongside their non-disabled peers to the greatest extent appropriate. What we

teach is applicable to the student's ability to successfully function in his/her environment as

prescribed by the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). We focus upon the intent of the

district's mission by Engaging our community, Inspiring our students, and Preparing our

graduates, assisting each student to achieve his/her potential independence in his/her post

school environment.

Resource Program

All of our high schools have Resource Programs, which provide educational services to

students with mild to moderate disabilities. The program is designed to provide individual,

small group instruction to students who require specially designed instruction in specific

goal areas as determined by the evaluation team. Students receive supplemental, or

adaptive replacement individualized instruction, consistent with the student’s assessed

needs and IEP goals. Most students receive their core education via the general education

classroom teacher. Some student’s specially designed instruction can be fully implemented

in general education settings. This may be achieved via general education differentiation or

push-in services. Some students need pull out instruction for some of their day, up to the

majority of their day, as determined by the IEP team. Given the moderate nature of some

student’s disabilities, significant daily guidance and regular and sporadic access to a

separate setting is needed.

Developmental Learning Program

Developmental Learning Programs, limited to our comprehensive high school campuses,

provide educational services to students with moderate to profound developmental

disabilities. Students are enrolled based on the IEP team recommendation for placement.

Students may have significant behaviors, related to cognitive and communication delays.

The program is designed to provide individual, small group instruction to students who

require the highest levels of support and specially designed instruction in specific goal areas

as determined by the evaluation team. The classroom provides smaller class size and

additional adult support. Opportunities for inclusion are available and determined in light of

the unique needs and interests of the student. Specially designed instruction is focused in

areas such as functional academics, adaptive skills, motor skills, communication,

independent daily living skills; and as students near 18-21, include vocational education and

community-based learning opportunities. Strong emphasis is given to partnership with

parents, local resources, and community.

Special Education Services cont.

Behavior Program

The Behavior Program is available at Marysville Pilchuck High School. Students are enrolled

based on the IEP team recommendation for placement. Our Behavior Program is designed

for students with significant behavioral needs to provide a system of supports to address

individual needs and focus on teaching behavior and pro-social skills. Specially designed

instruction is provided in specific goal areas as determined by the evaluation team. Students

enrolled in the Behavior Program have serious behaviors and/or emotional issues that

significantly impact their ability to interact with peers/adults and inhibit their academic

progress. Students may have very high mental health needs requiring constant supervision.

IEP goals and objectives address both conduct and social/emotional/behavioral issues

according to what is appropriate for the student. The Behavior Program Structure provides a

continuum of services including extended service full day, partial day, and check in/check

out services as determined by the IEP team.

Behavior Program Structure

A. Extended Service: The Behavior Program will include the ability to

provide students full-time service for those who require the most restrictive

environment available in the school setting.

B. Partial Day: Students who attend the Behavior Program less than a

full day are integrated in other school settings for the remainder of the school

day (i.e. resource programs should be considered as a first step).

C. Check in/Check out: Behavior Program staff meets with students at the

beginning and end of the school day to set goals and review progress, build

rapport with staff and practice appropriate learned social skills. This program

structure is intended for students ready to transition fully from the Behavior

Program structure to a less restrictive environment, a combination of resource

program and the general classroom, for example.

Transition Program

The Transition Program provides a set of coordinated activities designed to be a results-

oriented process that facilitates the successful movement to post-high school. These

activities are based on the student's needs, strengths, preferences, and interests. Transition

services include instruction, related services, community experiences, the development of

employment and other post-school living objectives and, when appropriate, daily living

skills. Beginning no later than with the IEP that is in effect when the student turns 16, or

earlier if determined appropriate by the IEP Team, the IEP includes appropriate measurable

postsecondary goals based upon age-appropriate transition assessments related to

education/training, employment, and where appropriate, independent living skills.

English Language Learners (ELL)-Sheltered Instruction

This program is designed for English Language Learners.

Sheltered instruction is an approach for teaching grade-level content to English learners in strategic

ways that make the subject matter concepts comprehensible while promoting the students’ English

Language development.

In the sheltered English classroom, teachers use physical activities, visual aids, and the environment

to teach important new words for concept development in mathematics, science, history, economics,

and other subjects.

Push in model: in this model the ELL staff member comes into the mainstream classroom and works

with the content area teacher to provide extra language support to ELLs. Students work on content

and language objectives within the same lesson. It also encompasses strategic introduction of

content vocabulary, explicit literacy instruction, and the use of hands-on manipulative.

English Language Learners remain in the mainstream classroom and receive ELL support services by

our ELL staff members for 15 to 30 minutes per session. Students may work in small groups with the

ELL staff member who functions as a resource instructor in the classroom or the ELL staff member

may co-teach a lesson using instructional techniques to support English language learners. In small

group activities, ELL students may engage in some of the same kinds of language study found in a

pull-out class; however, the ELL staff member works in collaboration with the classroom teacher to

tailor lessons to content study. Students who have gained a level of proficiency in English will still be

challenged during content study for perhaps as long as 5-7 years. The ELL staff member may serve

as a resource to help support students’ development of content vocabulary and concepts.
