What does ASI stand for?
ASI means Academic Support Instruction. Your son/daughter was placed in an ASI classroom for a few reasons. One reason was that they scored Below Proficient on State Testing. In other words, their Reading and/or Math score was below grade level for their grade. Another reason for being placed in an ASI classroom is the recommendation of the classroom teacher or Child Study Staff. The ASI classroom has less students which can lead to more one on one interaction and attention. Thus enabling your child to improve their skills.Back to Top

How does my son/daughter exit the ASI program?
Exiting the ASI program is different for every child. When their test scores are received by the district in August they are evaluated by the ASI staff as well as Administration. If your child's scores have reached the Proficient level or beyond, they are exited from ASI for the upcoming school year. Students can also be exited based on the judgement of their ASI teachers.
