4. Monitoring of Recent Immigrants • Students coded, “Recent Immigrant”, must be monitored every nine weeks in order to be in compliance with state and federal mandates. • In previous years, we sent the “Immigrant Education Program Academic Progress Checklist” to elementary campuses and had teachers fill out the form. • This year we will not be sending these forms to the campuses. • The process for this year will be for teachers to document the interventions they are using with Recent Immigrants in ARMS. • In the OSP system, under ARMS, teachers are able to see which students are coded Recent Immigrant.

5. Monitoring of Recent Immigrants cont. • Teachers must first select the Code H in order to begin entering the interventions. • Teachers will input the interventions under, How will this intervention be evaluated for student success? (Evidence of Impact)

6. Monitoring of Recent Immigrants cont. • Please have teachers consider the following reasons when entering interventions for the Recent Immigrant(s) in ARMS. • Does not ask for help • Inattentive • Poor quality work • Failure to turn in assignments • Fails to complete assignments • Low test scores • Frequents absences # of absences and/or # of tardies • Lack of interest/ motivation • Below grade level reading skills: English /Spanish • Below grade level writing skills: English/Spanish • Below grade level math skill: English/ Spanish • Not progressing satisfactorily in English language acquisition • Not progressing satisfactorily in native language literacy • Not attending tutoring when available and offered

7. Monitoring of Recent Immigrants cont. • The attendance clerk can run an Immigrant Report from Cognosin order for you to know which students at your campus are coded Recent Immigrant (s). • The attendance clerk can also run an Immigrant Failure Report of all those Recent Immigrant(s) that are failing. • Follow up and check interventions entered into ARMS every nine weeks.

8. Academic Profile Sheets/Coding • We currently have 836 students that have not been coded. It is imperative that the attendance clerks send the Academic Profile Sheets to Lupe Lopez via pony upon student enrollment. Students must be coded on a timely basis in order to be in compliance. Administrator will be required to manually enter the coding for these students if they are not turned in a timely manner. This is needed for TELPAS data file submission. IMPORTANT!!!!
