How long will my child remain at The Y.A.L.E. Schools before returning to the district program?
This decision is based on several factors. Students minimally spend a school year at Y.A.L.E.. Initial behavioral and academic goals and objectives are set when a student begins the program. A student’s movement toward goal aquisition depends on several factors, including growth and behavior, learning ability, and social/emotional development. The Annual Review Meeting held in May of each year is a forum for parents, Child Study Team representatives, and Y.A.L.E. staff. Initial goals and objectives are reviewed and data-based progress is reported to meeting participants. Based on the student’s progress, Y.A.L.E. staff, parents, and district representatives determine the school program to best meet the child’s needs for the following school year.
