<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#002060">1. Have the Sp. Ed director do a mini Woodcock assessment....this will give grade level. Put in appropriate grade.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#002060">2. Have a comprehensive 6 grade 1st sem. final in the core classes. If he has an average or above score, he may be placed in 6th grade. ( I know people who won't place them
if they don't have a 90+ on the assessment. We let kids pass who have a 60, so I don't agree with the 90+)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I had that situation last year. We had a student enroll that dropped out in the first grade, but was old enough to be in the 5th grade. After speaking to our District Administrators, I was
advised to put him in the Fourth Grade. We would send him to a Second Grade class to learn math or another subject but was mainly in the Fourth Grade. If you put him in the lower Grade he is more likely to become a drop out. Our student made great progress
during the year. You just have to have very patient teachers that are willing to work as a team for the student.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
