Middle+School

Here are some frequently asked questions about the middle school transition in regards to the AIG Program: Q: If my child is identified in the AIG program at Wrightsville Beach, do we need to apply for the Middle School AIG program? A: No, you do not need to do anything. Your child will transition into middle school with the same identification that he/she had at WBS. If the data continues to support your child's placement in the program, (if your child continues to show the need for services provided by the AIG Program), the middle school AIG Match Team will meet and write a DEP for your child.

Q: If my child is identified in the AIG program at WBS, will he/she always be identified in the same subjects at the same level of service with the same service options? A: The AIG Match Team (a team consisting of teachers and administrators) at the elementary and middle school levels meets at least yearly to review the placement of students in AIG. Our goal is for students to be placed appropriately at the level in which they learn best. Changes can be made in your child's service level or service options if the AIG Match Team makes the decision based on data to do so. You would be notified of any changes.

Q: If my child has not been identified in the AIG program in elementary school, can he/she be identified in middle school? A: The AIG Match Team at each school, elementary and middle, is constantly looking for students who need to be identified in the areas of reading and/or math. Students can be nominated at any time, and the AIG Match Team reviews the student's data at their next meeting. A student who has not been identified at the elementary level may be nominated at the middle school level, and if the data supports that the student meets the criteria, he/she may be identified in math and/or reading.
