Previous Next
If a pupil enrolled at a public elementary school in kindergarten or grade 1, 2 or 3 exhibits a deficiency in the subject area of reading based upon state or local assessments and the observations of the pupil’s teacher, the principal of the school must provide written notice of the deficiency to the parent or legal guardian of the pupil within 30 days after the date on which the deficiency is discovered. The written notice must, without limitation:

1. Identify the educational programs and services that the pupil will receive to improve the pupil’s proficiency in the subject area of reading, including, without limitation, the programs and services included in the plan to improve the literacy of pupils enrolled in kindergarten and grades 1, 2 and 3 that has been approved by the Department pursuant to NRS 388.157;

2. Explain that if the pupil does not achieve adequate proficiency in the subject area of reading before the completion of grade 3, the pupil will be retained in grade 3 rather than promoted to grade 4, unless the pupil receives a good-cause exemption pursuant to NRS 392.760;

3. Describe, explain and, if appropriate, demonstrate the strategies which the parent or legal guardian may use at home to help improve the proficiency of the pupil in the subject area of reading;

4. Explain that the criterion-referenced examination in the subject area of reading administered pursuant to NRS 390.105 is not the only factor used to determine whether the pupil will be retained in grade 3 and that other options are available for the pupil to demonstrate proficiency if the pupil is eligible for a good-cause exemption pursuant to NRS 392.760;

5. Describe the policy and specific criteria adopted by the board of trustees of the school district or governing body of a charter school, as applicable, pursuant to NRS 392.765 regarding the promotion of a pupil to grade 4 at any time during the school year if the pupil is retained in grade 3 pursuant to NRS 392.760;

6. Include information regarding the English literacy development of a pupil who is limited English proficient; and

7. Describe, explain and, if appropriate, demonstrate the strategies which the parent or legal guardian may use at home to help improve the English literacy of a pupil who is limited English proficient.
