7. Throughout the School Year • Each school will organize a team that will be responsible for monitoring the progress of each new student. The progress monitoring will be completed at each interim and report card time. • Students can be dismissed from the process as they achieve success academically, socially, with attendance and any other concerns that are identified by the team.

8. Monitoring • The new student orientation process will be audited for fidelity after the first six weeks of school and throughout the school year. • Review of student data – academics, attendance and discipline at each marking period
