NEW ENTRANT SCREENING POLICY

I. INTRODUCTION The Eastport-South Manor Central School District Board of Education affirms this

screening policy in order to identify those new entrants who may possibly be gifted and talented or may be suspected of having a disability. It is in compliance with state and federal law and is comprehensive in nature. This policy is designed to engage the full participation of pupil personnel services staff and will be used to identify those students with exceptional qualities in health, speech and language, cognitive development, and visual-motor integration. The purpose of this policy is also to identify and to refer for further evaluation children with special needs and English language learners.

II. DEFINITIONS

A. Gifted and Talented: Section 142.2 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education define Gifted and Talented children as those students who show evidence of high performance capability and exceptional potential in areas such as general intellectual ability, special academic aptitude and outstanding ability in visual and performing arts.

B. Student with a Disability: A pupil who has a possible disability shall mean a pupil

who, on the basis of diagnostic screening, shows evidence of being educationally impaired because of a mental, physical, emotional reason. Further definition is set forth in the Commissioner’s Regulations, Part 200, “Students with Disabilities.”

C. English Language Learners: Section 154-1 of the Regulations of the Commissioner

of Education define pupils with limited English proficiency or English Language Learners as students who by reason of foreign birth or ancestry, speak a language other than English and (i) either understand and speak little or no English; or (ii) score below a State designated level of proficiency as set forth in the Regulations.

D. New Entrant: For purposes of diagnostic screening, the term “new entrant” is

defined by the Commissioner of Education as a pupil entering the New York State public school system for the first time, or entering a New York State public school with no available record of prior screening. The definition includes:

1. Students who have transferred into the public school system from nonpublic

schools within New York State (i.e., parochial schools); and 2. Students who have transferred into the New York State public school

system from other states and countries.

E. Diagnostic Screening: Part 117 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education defines Diagnostic Screening as a preliminary method of distinguishing from the general population those students who may possibly be gifted and talented or who may be suspected of having a disability and/or those students who possibly are limited English proficient.

III. DIAGNOSTIC SCREENING

A. Diagnostic screening must be conducted by persons appropriately trained or qualified. In addition, diagnostic screening must be administered in the pupil’s native language.

B. New York State required that new students who enter prior to the school year must

be screened no later than December first of the school year of entry. Should the entry take place after December first of the school year, the student must be screened within 15 days of transfer.

C. In addition to new entrants, pupils who score below level two on either the third

grade reading or mathematics test for New York State elementary schools, and students who obtain a comparable percentile score on the Regents Preliminary Competency Test, must be screened within 30 days of the availability of the test scores.

D. Diagnostic Screening for new entrants shall include:

1. A health examination by a duly licensed physician/health care provider, or evidence of such in the form of a health certificate in accordance with Sections 903, 904, and 905 of the Education Law.

2. Certificates of immunization or referral for immunization in accordance with Section 2164 of the Public Health Law.

3. Vision, hearing and scoliosis screenings are required by Section 136.3 of the Regulations of the Commissioner.

4. A determination of development in oral expression, listening

comprehension, written expression, basic reading skills and reading fluency and comprehension, mathematical calculation and problem solving, motor development, articulation skills, and cognitive development using recognized and validated screening tools; and

5. A determination whether the student is of foreign birth or ancestry and

comes from a home where a language other than English is spoken as determined by the results of a home language questionnaire and an informal interview in English and the native language.

D. Diagnostic Screening for students with low test scores shall include:

1. Vision and hearing screenings to determine whether a vision or hearing impairment is impacting the student’s ability to learn; and

2. A review of the instructional programs in reading and mathematics to ensure that explicit and research validated instruction is being provided in reading and mathematics.

(i) Students with low test scores shall be monitored periodically

through screenings and on-going assessments of the student's reading and mathematic abilities and skills. If the student is determined to be making sub-standard progress in such areas of study, instruction shall be provided that is tailored to meet the student's individual needs with increasingly intensive levels of targeted intervention and instruction.

(ii) The District shall provide written notification to parents when a student requires an intervention beyond which is provided to the general education classroom. Such notification shall include: information about the performance data that will be collected and the general education services that will be provided; strategies for increasing the student's rate of learning; and the parents' right to request an evaluation by the committee on special education to determine whether the student has a disability.

IV. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

It is very important that children have the intellectual reasoning capabilities necessary for satisfactory educational growth. Intelligence in the school setting typically involves a child’s ability to perceive, integrate, and express new information. Memory, sequencing, comprehension, and perceptual organization, are common intellectual constructs. In addition, a child’s individual school achievement correlates highly with intelligence and is an excellent predictor of future school success. In order to provide early identification and treatment the following is completed:

A. A review of educational records is conducted in order to assess the student’s current

level of academic success and to insure scholastic progress. B. In instances where records are incomplete, inconclusive, or unavailable, a brief

assessment of the student’s reading and arithmetic skills is conducted. C. Exceptional strengths are noted and a report is submitted to the superintendent of

schools within 15 calendar days, for a review of appropriate classroom placement and program needs.

V. HEALTH SCREENING

Detection of visual, auditory, or physical limitations is essential for building an appropriate classroom environment. It is important that weaknesses in seeing and hearing are noted and addressed. Additional health concerns include orthopedic impairments such as fractures, limited strength, vitality, or alertness due to chronic or acute health problems (i.e., heart condition). Deficits in any of these areas may adversely affect a student’s educational performance. When a new student enters Eastport-South Manor Central School District the following is completed:

A. A review of records is conducted in order to insure mandated immunization is in

compliance with Section 2164 of the Public Health Law. B. Medical records are reviewed for any medical problems or concerns. The staff is

advised and a notation is made on the Special Conditions list. C. A vision and hearing screening test may be requested. D. Arrangements are made for a physical examination by the school doctor or family

physician. VI. RECEPTIVE/EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE

Speech disorders include problems with voice quality, stuttering, and making sounds correctly. Language disorders include difficulty in understanding or using certain classes of words, oral directions, and grammar. In addition, language disorders may involve difficulty answering or asking questions. In order to help children with verbal communication disorders it is important to provide early identification and treatment. One or more of the following is completed for new entrants:

A. An informal interview is conducted which includes having the student state his or

her name, age, siblings, previous school, daily routines, etc. B. In order to screen for auditory memory and articulation, students are asked to repeat

words and sentences. C. Students are asked to pronounce nouns and verbs and describe events or things. D. Educational records are reviewed for evidence of a possible speech and/or language

impairment. VII. MOTOR STRENGTH AND COORDINATION

Motor strength and coordination is necessary for a child to physically manipulate the environment and involves the ability to integrate vision and small or large muscles. Good

eye-hand coordination correlates with academic readiness skills and physical fitness. The following is completed for new entrants:

A. The student’s eye-hand coordination and strength is assessed by observation. B. Significant deficits in eye—hand coordination and/or physical strength are noted.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES I. PROCEDURES

A qualified Eastport-South Manor Central School District staff member will review educational records of all new entrants. The entire student registration packet is sent to the Principal by the District Clerk. If the student is a classified student, the Special Education Director will also be sent a complete registration packet. The New Entrant Screening Form is included in the registration packet. The Building Principal is responsible for disseminating the information to the building staff. One copy is retained in the student’s cumulative file.

II. REFERRAL TIMELINES

A. A pupil who is suspected of having a disability shall immediately, upon completion of diagnostic screening, be referred to the Committee on Special Education (CSE). The referral shall be accompanied by the diagnostic screening report.

B. A pupil identified as possibly gifted or talented shall be reported to the

superintendent of schools no later than 15 calendar days. An appropriate program shall be determined to meet the needs of the gifted or talented student.

C. A pupil identified as possibly gifted and talented shall also be reported to the child’s

parent or legal guardian no later than 15 days after completion of diagnostic screening.

D. A student identified as possibility being limited English proficient shall be assessed

in accordance with Part 154 of the Regulations of the Commissioner and Eastport-South Manor Central School District’s Policy #4326, “Programs for English Language Learners.”

III. FINAL REVIEW

The screening is conducted at the building level in the areas of cognitive development, health, receptive/expressive language, and motor strength and coordination, and the respective section on the New Entrant Screening Form is completed and maintained in the student records. The Final Review is in accordance with Part 117 and is a compilation of the information obtained by the respective members of the screening team. This report includes a description of diagnostic screening methods used, the pupil’s performance using

those methods and, if required, referral for assessment and/or supplemental educational services.

IV. MANDATED AND NON-MANDATED SCREENING The New Entrant Screening Form will be used for all entrants, mandated and non-mandated. Referral for additional evaluation should be submitted as needed. Adopted:

9272

Volunteer Coaching

The Board of Education recognizes that it is inherently difficult for a parent or legal guardian to serve as a coach to his or her child without favoritism or unequal treatment, or the appearance of favoritism or unequal treatment. It is the policy of the Board of Education to prohibit the appointment of a parent or legal guardian to serve as a volunteer coach on an extracurricular athletics team when his or her child is on that team.
