Year at a glance

The RTI year has three screening seasons and a review at the end of every grading period. The 2026-2027 district calendar could not be read for this handbook, so the date column is blank. Fill it in from the district calendar and the district RTI plan before you print.

Late May to JuneYear-end closeRun the full checkup. Confirm the list of students served with the PEIMS clerk

Confirm locally: grading period length (six or nine weeks), screening windows, the screening tools used at SGE, the PEIMS due date, and state-required early reading and dyslexia screening dates for kindergarten and first grade.

Starting mid-year. You are beginning in November, so do these first:

  • Run a list of every open RTI record at SGE

  • For each student, check for this year's parent notice. Send any that are missing now and record today's date honestly

  • Check that every student has a plan, a goal and at least one progress score in the last month

  • Schedule a review meeting for anyone who has not had one this school year
