XI. TRANSITION FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL. Decribe the strategies used for assisting students transitioning from middle school to high school. 1) Counselors and high school student who represent their thematic community come to visit the middle school student at an assembly. The high school students provide an overview and benefits of belonging to their community. Eighth grade students have a time to ask questions before they begin the enrollment process 2) The Family Advocacy System is a district-wide program. When students enter high school, they have a teacher that is assigned as their advocate for the tme they are in high school. 3) The middle school and high school math teachers meet over a period of several months reviewing standards and aligning the math curriculum so that there would be continuity of instruction from the middle school to high school. The literacy instructional coaches at the middle and high school levels also met to create alignment of instruction. Currently, at the district level, two of the middle school instructional coaches are working with high school literacy teachers so that continuity of instruction is occurring in literacy. Other: Ninth grade advocates are specifically taught to look for the required courses in which freshmen must be enrolled. This is to provide another pair of eyes to look at student schedules and be sure they are enrolled in the correct courses. The first day of school is also for freshmen only. These students have an opportunity to visit and meet all of their teachers and advocates. This provides an opportunity for them to open lockers, find classrooms, find cafeteria, lunchroom, etc. without the pressure from all of the students in the building. They start the day by meeting their advocates in the cafeteria and moving with them to various locations within the building. -- Kansas City, Washington High School -- Page 44 of 50
XII. COLLABORATION AND INTEGRATION OF FUNDS All funds and resources available are used to support the school improvement plan. That includes at risk and Title I funds to support additional staff, in-service, supplies, parent involvement, and after school tutoring. Title II funds are used to support teacher learning. Staff members who do not meet the definition of highly qualified can use those funds to earn credit towards becoming highly qualified. Titles II and V are also used to support the teacher mentoring program. All state and federal funds go to support the whole school, not one part of the school. -- Kansas City, Washington High School -- Page 45 of 50
