ISD offers a comprehensive educational curriculum with a broad
selection of academic courses and electives and provides the following
special programs to support student achievement and excellence:
ESL – The
goal of English as a Second Language shall be to provide support and
services to students of limited English proficiency so that they can
become competent in the comprehension, speaking, reading, and
composition of the English language through the integrated use of
second language methods. The English as a Second Language program shall
emphasize the mastery of English language skills, as well as
mathematics, science, and social studies as integral parts of the
academic program for all students.
Dyslexia –
The goal of our dyslexia program is to identify and provide support and
services to students exhibiting characteristics of dyslexia to such an
extent that additional intervention is needed beyond conventional or
intensified instruction within the regular classroom.
Gifted and Talented
– Our Gifted and Talented Program identifies and provides services to
students performing at or showing potential for performing at a
remarkably high level of accomplishment when compared to others of the
same age, experience or environment and who exhibit high performance
capability in general intellectual ability, specific subject matter, or
creative/productive thinking.
At Risk Intervention Programs
– The purpose of the At-Risk Intervention Program is to provide needed
instructional support to students at risk of not graduating to help
them stay in school and graduate. Program services allow for parent
involvement, early identification and intervention, and regular
assessment of student progress.
Migrant –
Our Migrant services provide needed instructional support to help
migrant students overcome the challenges of mobility and to succeed in
school.
Optional Extended Year
