Brief Explanation: |
|||
Under
separate cover sites will receive their first VEEP wait list for the
2001-2002 school year. Beginning April 16, 2001, sites may also view their
list online. To access your list, see the guide for Using Enrollment
Options Reports also being sent under separate cover. The VEEP list has
been randomized, ranked, and sorted by grade level in the following order.
Students should be accepted in the order of this list:
Please note the following: Grandfathered Applications (see priority #2 above) Per Board of Education direction, VEEP applications submitted prior to September 3, 1999, are to be given a two-year priority consideration as the district phases into the new VEEP process. Applications submitted prior to September 3, 1999, have been placed ahead of applications submitted this year. Please be aware, this is the last year these applications will be grandfathered. Any student who submitted an application prior to September 3, 1999, and is not enrolled in VEEP this year, will need to submit a new application to continue to be considered for future VEEP enrollment. Siblings To receive sibling priority a VEEP application must have been filed by March 15, 2001. Applications filed after March 15, 2001, will not receive a sibling priority. They will be added to a subsequent list in date and time order. Verify Addresses If a student is currently enrolled in the district, the information in SIS is assumed to be correct. Enrollment Options staff has attempted to contact every parent who applied with an address different from that in the client/server. However, it is important that schools verify each VEEP student address before enrolling the student. If a student no longer lives in the allied pattern they may not be enrolled as a VEEP student. Accessing the VEEP List Online Beginning April 16, 2001, schools may access their VEEP wait list online. See (under separate cover) the user guide for the new Enrollment Options Reports program. The user guide is also available at the district’s MIS/TSS Publications web site at: http://www-isb.sandi.net/isb/techsupport. The Enrollment Options Office will periodically update your lists with additional names of students who have applied to attend your school. The online list will be updated approximately every six weeks. You will also receive a hard copy of your VEEP list via school mail.Documenting Dispositions It is important that school sites document the contacts and attempts to contact each student on the hard copy of the list. Schools are required to document the final disposition for each student contacted on the pull down menu on the VEEP list online. The Enrollment Options Office monitors the disposition field in order to ensure parents and the Board of Education that schools are enrolling students in the order of the list. Transportation A transportation application must be completed for each new student enrolled in order for transportation to be scheduled for the student. A packet of VEEP and Magnet Transportation forms has been included with your wait list (under separate cover). Please return the forms to Transportation by June 2, 2001, to assure transportation for the first day of school in September. If you have any questions, please call the Enrollment Options Office at
(619) 725-5672. |
