Subject: Setting Schedules and Budgets for SY 26-27
Summary:
As you begin your master scheduling for SY 26-27, please regard the following while building the schedule:
ALL elementary schools (with the exception of the Open Classroom) have AAMP services.
- AAMP serves students in a pull-out program in grades 4-6 in a student’s neighborhood elementary school for up to 3 hours per week.
DISCOVERY GROUPS
- Discovery Groups offer part-time enrichment for skill development in grades K-3.
Please work with your AAMP teacher at the earliest possible time to build into your complex schedule of times that work for all parties involved.
Funding:
Some schools provided additional funding to the legislative funds that AAMP teachers received. Continuing this would be helpful as the AAMP pull-out program is serving more students each year as we are now identifying and serving more students in verbal, quantitative, and non-verbal groups. Understandably, budgets are shrinking, but please be considerate of this program when making decisions.
Rationale:
This is a district-sponsored program; your support helps us to provide specific services to enrich students’ learning.
Expectations for Implementation:
- Communication
- Principals are responsible to work with AAMP teachers for grade 4-6 pullout times (discovery can be more fluid)
- Collaboration:
- Teachers, administration, AAMP Supervisor
- Evaluation
- A working schedule with times incorporated
*Should you have questions and/or concerns, I am available for in-person and/or a Teams meeting at your convenience.
