Basic Skills Program
The Basic Skills program, available
in each public school and in all grades, provides supplementary
instruction in reading/language arts, and mathematics to eligible
children. Students are selected on the basis of a
standardized test and teacher opinion as a secondary measure. In
the Middle School and High School the program is a regularly
scheduled class and pupils receive credit for taking the
classes. The curriculum of the Basic Skills Program is aligned
with the New Jersey State Standards and students receive instruction to
better prepare them for the State assessments in Grades 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, and 11.
Parents will receive a letter home
whenever a child is enrolled in a Basic Skills Program.
If you would like further
information about any of these programs, please call Geri
Ledford, Federal Programs Supervisor.
