RtA Program Exit - Reading Retained (Grade 3 Only)

Students who are still non-proficient on third-grade standards at the end of RtA Summer Reading Campus will be placed in one of three situations: 

1. Retained in 3rd grade.
2. Placed in a 3/4 transition class.
3. Placed in a 4th grade accelerated class.

Students Retained in 3rd Grade

• This process should be completed prior to the beginning of school.
• For students who have been retained in the 3^rd grade for reading proficiency only, a new record should be created in the RtA Program for the new school year (grade 3) following the steps above for “RtA Program Entry – Reading Retained (Grade 3 only)." The Reading Retained label should remain until the student demonstrates proficiency.
• For students who have been retained in the 3^rd grade for reasons other than or in addition to reading proficiency, no Reading Retained label is needed.
