Guidance on Race/Ethnicity Reporting Form
Montana Office of Public Instruction (OPI)
A change has been made to the reporting of race and ethnicity in educational data to better reflect the country's growing diversity. The change will take place in the 2010-2011 school year and will require all students to be identified using a new two-part race/ethnicity question. The federal government has established the two-part question to recognize Hispanic ethnicity and race as two separate and distinct concepts. Additionally, the change allows the reporting of multiple races (American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, White).

Library Permission Form
As your child begins the school year at DeSmet Elementary School, they will have the opportunity to borrow books from the school library. This involves a great deal of responsibility on the part of your child. It is our hope that you will reinforce this sense of responsibility in your child by encouraging them to properly care for and return the books in a timely manner.
The number of books a child can borrow depends on their grade level. The loan time for books is one (1) week. Students must bring their book(s) to library in order to renew them. Books are renewed up to two (2) times unless another student has a hold on that title. This gives students up to three (3) weeks to finish their book(s).
- Kindergarten/First Grade — one book
- Second (2nd) Grade — two books
- Third (3rd) through Eighth OM — three books
Overdue books will preclude a child from checking out any more books until the overdue item is returned. Lost books must be paid for before the student is able to check out any other items. If the book is lost and paid for, then found within that school year or the following school year, the student will be reimbursed.
By reading with and to your children you enrich their educational experience here at DeSmet and further prepare them for future challenges. Please return the Library Permission Form on the following page. Your student cannot check books out until the form is on file with the school.
Sincerely,
DeSmet Elementary Librarian

With your child, please review the library book permission form above. This form must be returned before books may be borrowed from the school library.

Title I
As you may know, Title I is a federally funded program for students who need additional support to meet the state's high academic standards. The goal of Title I is to identify students, give them assistance in the regular classroom when possible, provide interventions to enhance academic skills, and to increase student achievements so that students can be 100% successful in the classroom.
DeSmet will administer a schoolwide Title I program. Under a schoolwide program, all students are eligible to receive academic support.
DeSmet Public Schools utilize several educationally related formats to identify students who need additional academic support. These include, but are not limited to the SBAC Interim Assessments, DIBELS, teacher referrals, etc. We would like to point out that Title I is not designed to be a permanent identification or placement. My goal is to get students academically proficient as quickly as possible! Once we ensure that a student is proficient, we discontinue the support but continue to monitor their progress to make sure they stay on a successful academic track.
Federal guidelines require that all schools receiving Title I funds to develop and distribute a School-Parent Compact (attached). The Compact is an agreement among participants working together for a common goal. Teachers, students, and parents all have a responsibility to continue to the effort to establish an effective climate for learning for all students. This Compact outlines the role of each group is an effort to provide a high quality education for our students. Please read through the attached Compact with your child, sign, and return the form to your student's teacher. Thank you for being an active participant in your child's education! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I am more than happy to answer all questions or concerns that you may have.
Sincerely, Carly Aho

DeSmet School District #20
An out of District Guide for Parents
The District considers the following criteria for discretionary admission of nonresident students: the student's academic record, disciplinary record, including truancy records, and the current student level in the class in which the student would be admitted. The District will not admit any student prior to viewing that student's records from the student's previous school districts.
In the case of incoming kindergarten students or those who have been home-schooled, cases where no prior records exist, the Superintendent, or designee will meet with the family and determine the student's likelihood for success based on behavior, attendance and acceptance of school expectations and policies. The Superintendent or designee will review the student candidate based on the above listed criteria while also considering current sibling enrollment and if a dependent of a current or incoming employee to determine whether or not to recommend the student for admission.
In the case of too many requests for a special grade level, students will be selected using a lottery system after the previous criteria have been applied. The District will not admit any nonresident student who is serving a suspension or expulsion in another school district.
Every Student who attends the District as a nonresident student is subject to reevaluation every year and will be assessed annually. Administration will assess all nonresident students at the end of each year. The Board may declare an emergency which, in its opinion, necessitates the removal of all nonresident students from the schools. The Board will not admit any student who is expelled from another school district.
All resident students who become nonresident students due to a move by the students' parents from the District may continue attendance for the semester, barring registration in another school district. At the completion of the semester, the student must apply for admission as a nonresident student if the student wishes to remain in the District.
We do not provide transportation. You will need to provide your own transportation to and from school. All nonresident students will be considered ineligible for school transportation services (20-10-101, MCA). This section does not prohibit out-of-district students from riding district buses provided they bored the bus at established routes in the district).
