*If your child does not meet the required skills, he/she will be scoring a 2 or 1 on his/her progress report or report card. I will conference with you. Your child may be put on the retention list and his/her case may be brought to Care Team (a group of professional teachers in the building who can recommend additional resources/strategies for the classroom teacher).
