• Students participating in SSA should be scheduled into the classroom of the teacher who is delivering instruction. EX: If a 3rd grade student is being single subject accelerated in Mathematics, he/she

should be scheduled into the 4th grade teacher’s Mathematics class. NOTE: Data Managers should be able to help with the scheduling component of SSA.

• SSA students will receive 2 reports cards: o One report card from the Homeroom teacher indicating grades for the grade level to

which the student is assigned. The Mathematics section of the 3rd grade report card would be blank. Comments in the report card should indicate the single subject acceleration that

the student is participating in.

o One report card from the teacher indicating grades for which the subject in which the student is being accelerated. Only the Mathematics section of the 4th grade report card would be populated.

Students Participating in Magnet Electives:

• Students participating in Magnet electives will receive: o A report card that will be generated through PowerTeacher. o An Addendum for the Magnet electives the student is participating in.


Students Receiving Special Education Services

• Students who are served Cross Categorical Resource (CCR) will receive: o A report card that will be generated through Home Base/PowerTeacher. o An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) progress report.

• Students with disabilities who are served in regional programs or separate on the continuum on the North Carolina Standard Course of Study will receive: o A report card that will be generated through Home Base/Power Teacher for their

grade level placement. o A North Carolina Course of Study Common Core Regional Program and/or separate

on the continuum report card addendum grades K-5 for English/Language Arts and Mathematics only. This report card is not generated through Home Base/PowerTeacher.

o These students include Cross Categorical Kindergarten (CCK), Intellectually Disabled-Mild (ID Mild I, II), and Emotional Disabled (ED I, II) or students separate on the continuum not in a regional program.

• Students with disabilities who are served in regional programs on the Extended Common Core will receive: o An Extended Common Core report card not generated in Home Base/PowerTeacher

on the grade level they are assigned. o An Individualized Education Program (IEP) progress report. o These students include Autistic (AU I, II, III, IV), Intellectually Disabled-Moderate (ID

Mod I, II, III, IV), Intellectually Disabled-Severe (ID Sev I, II, III, IV) and Multiple Disabilities (MU III, IV).
