Osborn Elementary District

Osborn School District #8 will address the academic impact of lost instructional time by offering summer school, reducing classroom sizes and offering our Osborn Community iSchool as an additional instructional option to families. Osborn SD is allocating the required 20% set-aside to cover summer school for three consecutive years. Summer school tutoring will take place for 4 weeks and certified teachers will be delivering instruction throughout the summer program. The student to teacher ratio is intended to be 15:1, with instructional assistant supports. The tutoring will take place during the summer school day from approximately 8am-1pm from Monday through Friday. Programs and curriculum that are ADE approved according to the "Evidence based database" will be used including but not limited to Achieve3000, Conscious Discipline, iXL, and Nearpod. By extending our students learning opportunities, we aim to address the academic impact of the lost instructional time. Summer school will include behavior assistants to work with students on social emotional skills using the Conscious Discipline curriculum. Additionally, funds have been earmarked to cover the salaries of 5 MTSS Interventionists who will support in the assessment administration and disaggregation of data to support in targeting students for interventions and afterschool programming. An ELL para professional and a Native American parent liaison/education assistant have also been hired as a result of these funds to support in addressing those unique populations and mitigating barriers for those students and families.
