Districts are required to document daily attendance for all students enrolled in Reading Camp on a digital spreadsheet. We have provided a link to a sample template for use if your district does not have anything in place. This sample template is a forced copy so it can be edited as needed to fit the needs of your district. It is essential that daily attendance is collected accurately for each student to be shared with Reading Camp Administrators at the end of Reading Camp.
At the end of Reading Camp, site administrators will enter each student's data into an the RtA program within the NCSIS including the total number of days attended for each student.
If a student is identified as eligible for RtA Summer Reading Camp at the end of the school year, but does not already have an IRP designation in the RtA Program, follow the program entry steps in the program entry section for IRPs above and record “RC: RtA Summer Reading Camp” as a support.
