Jag Time Trimesters Jag Time is divided into three trimesters … First Trimester … 10/16 to 11/28 Second Trimester … 1/8 to 2/20 Third Trimester … 2/26 to 5/3

Jag Time Enrichment Opportunities • Students who are eligible to receive ENRICHMENT four times per week will choose a course from our Enrichment catalog. • A survey will give enrichment students a chance to communicate their top enrichment choices. • Once the surveys are complete, enrichment students will be placed in enrichment courses based on preference and availability.

Intervention? • Some Students will be place in INTERVENTION for Reading or Math as a course. **Intervention Placement is based on some or all of the following: Prior Year or Current Grades, SOL Test Scores, Attendance and Behavior Data, ARDT Screening for Math, Lit Assess for English, Scholastic Reading Inventory, Teacher/Parent Recommendations and Benchmark Test Scores

Intervention Goal Plans Intervention classes will be small classes where each student develops an individual goal plan with the teacher. The Trimester will be spent working on two or three short term goals. Intervention Teachers will collaborate with each student’s regular reading and math teacher to provide the best possible assistance.

Academic Support • Academic Support is NOT a course. • Academic Support is a week (2 days of Jag Time) placement. • Individual Teachers will assign Academic Support based on missing or incomplete work. • Placement is communicated to the students each Wednesday, and students who are assigned Academic Support report to Academic Support during Jag Time Thursday and Friday. There is no early release once placed in Academic Support for the week. • Missed ENRICHMENT work must be made up when the student returns to Enrichment. • Students in Intervention will be assigned Academic Support only if the Intervention Teacher agrees that it is necessary.

Jag Time Progress Reports Jag Time is not a grade on the Report Card. Students may receive Jag Time Progress Reports. The following will be addressed in the progress report: Daily Assignments Completed? Focus and Task Commitment? Positive Attitude? **Student Progress will determine future Jag Time placements.
