1 INTRODUCTION This handbook is addressed to families of Carroll students who are in the 7 th, 8 th, and 9 th grades. We hope that it will answer many of the questions asked about high school planning and that it will serve as a guide for the process of returning to public schools as well as applying to independent schools. The Transition Office has the primary responsibility for assisting families as they consider school options for their children after graduation. It is our goal to ensure that after leaving Carroll, students continue their education in the most appropriate settings, ones in which they can be successful. The Transition Team 1

8 TRANSITIONING TO A PUBLIC OR TECHNICAL SCHOOL When entering or returning to the public school, it is important that you establish positive relationships with the Special Education personnel within the school district. Together, you will collaborate and develop an Individual Education Plan (IEP) that best meets the needs of your child. It is essential that you share information about your child, as well as advocate on his/ her behalf. For funded students currently on an IEP with their school district, Carroll's School District Coordinator will arrange a review with your child s team and schedule an IEP meeting. For privately funded students, Carroll will consult with you and provide guidance as you navigate the special education process. The special education personnel in your school district are responsible for writing an IEP or 504. Carroll teachers will advise. 8
9 Returning to Public - Timeline for privately funded students Contact your school district to discuss and explore high school offerings. Send a Referral Letter along with any new testing to the school district to initiate the Special Education process so that the child can receive appropriate services and support. Make an appointment to observe the Special Education offerings in your district, including technical school options. NOTE: Some technical schools will accept applications on a rolling basis starting in the late fall. Register your child at the school. Arrange for your child to shadow a student in the high school. School district requests teacher input about the child s current performance on Educational Assessment Part B Form. Parents write sections for Parent Concerns and Vision Statement. to district before the IEP meeting. IEP meeting o Review Testing o Determine Eligibility o Develop IEP Goals and Accommodations. o Course selection typically occurs during the IEP meeting 9
10 RESPONSIBILITIES Carroll School Transition Office Responsibilities Advise students and parents. Gather information from current teachers on student performance and research the child's academic history, progress at Carroll, test scores, learning style & needs. Recommend range of schools to fit child. Together with the family, discuss additional considerations for placement, specific interests, and goals. Compile list of fall Open Houses. Interview preparation. Facilitate application process. Provide guidance for transition to public school. The Transition Office is responsible for sending a packet of each student s Carroll records by the designated school s deadline, including the following materials: Teacher Recommendations - We request and collect Character, Language, and Math recommendations from the appropriate teachers. Parents usually do NOT need to send us specific school forms as standardized Carroll recommendation forms are used for all students. Detailed Grade Reports for current & previous year. Transcript for Q2 grades including Carroll activities. Standardized testing administered at Carroll Attendance & discipline records for technical schools. 10
11 Family Responsibilities Research schools. Schedule interviews. Complete and submit formal application. ** Most boarding schools accept the Common Application. Check with the school to find out. Write student and parent essays. The essay should be the student s work; however, if requested by the student, Carroll faculty provides editing assistance. Submit recent neuropsych and educational testing. If applicable, be sure to send SSAT scores electronically to each school. Notify Transition Office of school acceptances, waitlists, and rejections. Notify schools and Carroll Transition Office of your decision by April 10 and submit enrollment deposit. Maintain strong grades throughout the remainder of the year, as all acceptances are based on the assumption that students will complete the year in good standing. Keys to Success Relax! Listen to your child Have fun Trust the process it will all work out Know that there is a school for everyone 11
12 LEVELS OF SUPPORT AT SCHOOLS All students attending Carroll have a language-based learning disability; however, their skill level and educational needs for high school vary widely. Each student is a unique individual with distinctive needs and interests. There is a school for everyone, but not one school for everyone. On average, approximately 1/3 of graduating Carroll students return to their public or technical school, 1/3 go to private day schools, and 1/3 go to boarding schools for high school. The types of schools students attend depend on the child s academic development, independence, self-advocacy, and ability to apply strategies and be an active learner. Support is offered in varying degrees at schools, and the needs of each individual child should be considered when selecting certain schools. Following are the broad categories of the types of school programs that exist, ranging from the most supportive to the least. A - Maximum Support - School with remedial LD support B - Moderate Support - Mainstream setting with integrated academic support and accommodations. C Minimal Support - Mainstream faster-paced setting that can be understanding of students with different learning styles, but provides little support. Tutorial support can be arranged; drop-in Learning Centers might be available and few accommodations are allowed. D No Support Demanding school with heavy workload and no accommodations. 12
13 Sample lists of schools that match the profile within each category are highlighted on the following pages. This list is not to be considered inclusive of all the options within these categories; it is New England-based and intended to be used merely as a guide to help you begin your research.

19 INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ADMISSION TESTING There are two standardized admission tests required by SOME private schools: SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test) ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) used primarily for students entering grades 6-8 These tests are not required at public schools, nor at any A or B level schools. The SSAT/ISEE score is one part of a student s complete application; and while it is important, it is not the only criteria for admission. The tests measures broad academic skills - specifically, verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, and mathematics. The SSAT is a norm-referenced test that interprets an individual test-taker s score relative to the distribution of scores for a comparison or norm group. This norm group consists of all the test takers (same grade/gender), who have taken the test for the first time. It is important to remember that the SSAT norm group is a highly-competitive group. In contrast, a criterion-referenced test interprets a test-taker s performance without reference to the performance of other test takers. For example, your percent correct from a classroom math test is 90%, because you answered 90% of the questions correctly. Your score is not referenced to the performance of others Please visit for further, up-to-date information. There are many helpful webinars and other resources available at this site that will answer many of your questions. 19
20 QUESTIONS TO ASK SCHOOLS Following are some suggestions for questions that specifically relate to the level of academic support and accommodations a school can provide. Describe the student profile that is best suited at the school. What is the average class size? How many levels of classes in language and math are offered? Are remedial instructions offered, and if so, what modality is used (OG, Wilson, Project Read)? What type of writing support is provided? Is there a specific LD academic track, and, if so, describe? Describe the type of learning support provided o How are tutorials arranged? o Is there a Learning Center and where is it located? o Who staffs the Learning Center and what are their credentials? o How do the Learning Center staff and the regular teachers communicate? o What percentage of the student body uses the Learning Center and when and how frequently do students visit the Learning Center? o Is there an additional charge for Learning Center support? o Is the support one-on-one or small group? o How is the degree/level of support determined for students? o Ask for examples of the type of support the Learning Center staff provides. 20
21 Tell me about the advisor system - o When do students see their advisor? o How involved are advisors in a student s daily life? How accessible are the teachers for extra help, and when are they available? Are there free blocks in the academic day to see teachers? Do they accept foreign language waivers? Are study skills classes offered? Do they allow extra time accommodations for tests? Are laptops allowed in class for note taking and homework? Do students use assistive technology while at school? Are teachers trained to use assistive technology? What specific technology is offered to students? o Kurzweil o Laptops & ipad o Dragon o Books on Tape o Speech recognition software o Reading for the Blind and o Dyslexic (RFBD) o Smart Boards 21
22 ADMISSION INTERVIEW Tips for Students Preparation Visit school websites and read over the catalog before you visit and write down questions. Set up an appointment with the Transition Office to practice interviewing and practice with your parents. Plan to talk about why you went to Carroll; explain your learning style and the type of extra help you may need, including what helps you to learn. Plan to say something about yourself - talk about your interests or an accomplishment. It s OK to brag. Dress in good, clean clothes (look at what the students are wearing in the catalog pictures). No T-shirt or jeans. Do not wear a hat during the interview or chew gum. First Impressions Count SMILE! When you have your interview Be prompt. Call if you are going to be delayed. Shake hands firmly when you meet the interviewer and when you leave. Look the interviewer in the eye when he/she speaks and when you answer. Be yourself do not pretend to be someone you are not! Do take a deep breath and try to relax and enjoy yourself. Understand that everyone is nervous in these situations. Avoid saying Uh, Well, Like. Take your time to answer. Do not feel rushed. 22
23 Try to sit still with your hands in your lap or at your side. Do not wiggle around or handle your belongings. If the interviewer asks what you can offer the school, comment on topics such as: o Your aim to utilize your talents, skills, and interests by participating in school activities o Your active interest in studying o Your desire to meet people and be part of a community When asked questions by the interviewer, do not answer with just a yes or no. Elaborate briefly. The interviewer wants to have you converse. Do not put down your school or teachers. Only say positive things. If you have to talk about something that was hard, or you did not do well, remember to talk about what you learned, and how you would do it differently next time. Do not cross your arms. It makes you appear bored, unenthusiastic, and unconcerned. Before you leave, be sure you have your interviewer s name and title. Thank the interviewer for his or her time and interest in you. Body Language Makes a Loud Statement After the Interview Send a short thank you note to the interviewer the next day thanking him/her for your visit and expressing your interest. 23
