[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Are the IS kids integrated with TCS all day or for a portion of the day?[/quote]

Toddlers attend 5 hours and 3-5 year old preschoolers attend 7:50-2:40. Same hours as any other APS early childhood program. For IS, it is a fully integrated program for all rooms except the Mini-MIPA (preschool autism class) and self-contained 3-5 class; those classes would suffer from the cut especially since they push in and out of the general education classes throughout their day (something not really implemented anywhere else in APS to the same extent).[/quote]
Respectfully I’m not sure you are fully aware of what is happening in other parts of the county. There are SPED pre-k classes that are co-taught, self contained sped Pre-ks that push in and out of VPI, Mini-MIPA classes. I understand the program is special and have colleagues who send their babies to TCS and love it. But we need to make tough cuts this year and it would be more efficient to have them in the regular buildings (I’m not sure if other schools cut VPI this year- we have an empty room at my school.)[/quote]
