How We Monitor Student Progress 

At Rondout School District 72, student progress is closely monitored and supported through ongoing collaboration and communication. 

• Grade-level and cluster teams meet regularly to review student progress, strengths, and areas of need 

• Parent–teacher conferences are held twice each year 

• Interim conferences may be scheduled at the request of parents or staff at any time 

• Student Services Team (SST) meetings may be initiated by staff to bring parents and the instructional team together to review emerging needs and strengths. 

 Our small school size allows us to closely support every student—whether they are receiving enrichment, intervention, or both. 

Requesting a Special Education Evaluation 

Parents may also initiate a request for an evaluation.  The following outlines the process.

Special Education Eligibility Categories 

Parent Guide to the Outcome of Evaluations 

Students in Illinois may be eligible for special education services if they meet criteria under one or more disability categories and need specially designed instruction to make progress in school. 

Eligibility is determined by a multidisciplinary team, which always includes parents or guardians. We are committed to working in partnership with families to support every learner.
