STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES AT NEW VISION CHARTER SCHOOL

MULTI-TIERED SYSTEMS OF SUPPORTS (MTSS)

MTSS is an organizational framework intended to improve outcomes for students through the effective collaboration of adults.  New Vision Charter School is a Multi-Tiered System of Supports.  Our goal is for all of our students to be successful both academically and behaviorally.  All of our students have access to research-based effective curriculum and high-quality instruction. Striving and thriving learners are provided with appropriate interventions (remediation and extension) at increasing levels of intensity to accelerate their rate of learning. These services may be provided by a variety of personnel, including general education teachers and specialists. Progress is closely monitored to assess both the learning rate and level of performance of individual students. Educational decisions about the intensity and duration of interventions are based on individual student response to instruction.

INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION AND 504 PLANS

NVCS complies with all Federal, State, and District requirements regarding at-risk students. NVCS also complies with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) regulations, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title 11 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students with disabilities will be provided with the necessary materials, equipment, and mandated services necessary to ensure that their learning is maximized. Wherever possible, they will be fully integrated into the school’s programs. 

All students with disabilities attending NVCS will be identified and serviced within the limits of the NVCS charter with the Thompson School District. NVCS will endeavor to offer an inclusion program for all students with disabilities. NVCS will comply with all mandated requirements as dictated in a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for any student who enrolls in NVCS with pre-existing disability requirements. NVCS partners with Thompson School District to provide student support for students who qualify for Exceptional Student Services.  The district will be responsible for ensuring the provision of the required special education programs and services, including the development of IEPs and the handling of administrative proceedings, as well as providing any specialized services students may require that fall into the mild and moderate range of service. NVCS staff will assist in identifying and referring students for assessment of special education needs, developing IEPs, maintaining records, and assisting in the delivery of special education instruction and services as appropriate.

READ PLANS

Through the use of CMAS tests and other measurements of progress, NVCS adheres to the Colorado READ Act requirements.  NVCS develops Individual Literacy Plans based on statistically-significant gaps that are determined through the use of this data for remediation planning. Any student who is performing one grade level below their current grade in reading is placed on a READ plan in accordance with the Colorado READ Act.  For more information on the READ Act, please click on the following link:  READ Act Fact Sheet.

GIFTED AND TALENTED – ADVANCED LEARNING PLANS

The Colorado Department of Education's definition of Gifted and Talented children is: "Gifted and talented children" refers to those persons between the ages of five and twenty-one whose abilities, talents, and potential for accomplishment are so exceptional or developmentally advanced that they require special provisions to meet their educational programming needs. Gifted students include gifted students with disabilities (i.e. twice exceptional) and students with exceptional abilities or potential from all socio-economic and ethnic cultural populations. Gifted students are capable of high performance, exceptional production, or exceptional learning behavior by virtue of any or a combination of these areas of giftedness:

  • General intellectual ability

  • Specific academic aptitude

  • Creative or productive thinking

  • Leadership abilities

  • Visual arts, performing arts, musical or psychomotor abilities

STUDENT SUPPORT TEAM (SST)

The Student Support Team (SST) is a group of educators that collaborate to ensure that all students are successful at New Vision Charter School.  Our goal is to work with parents closely to ensure that we meet the needs of each student.  At New Vision Charter School, we create a Thompson Student Improvement Plan (SIP) for any student who requires additional or specified academic or behavioral support.   Parents are expected to attend all Student Support Team (SST) Meetings regarding their child.  We believe parental input and feedback is critical to the overall success of all students.
