These are students who now get to walk with their friends or ride their bikes or ride with their siblings because they’re in this same community in a space where they believe that they can make some progress,” explained Walls. “We’re talking about students who have been taking cabs and busses to school 45 minutes to an hour one way for many years. Some of those students will now attend the Day School. As of the 2018-2019 school year, there were 453 District 202 students who had IEPs - 75 of those students did not attend ETHS. The school was created in response due to the number of Evanston students who needed to attend other schools/programs outside of District 202 to receive the support they required. The Day School officially opened June 11 for a six-week summer session. It’s a broad net, which is why each decision for student enrollment is made individually,” District 202 Director of Special Education Lanée Walls said. We have some students who we consider the Day School just a transition in preparation for reintegration into the high school. A school with thirty kids versus 3800 kids feels very different.
“We have some students who need more environmental support. IEPs are based upon the Individual With Disabilities Education Act, given to students with specific learning, emotional or physical disabilities. Student acceptance at the Day School was made on an individual basis through IEP (Individualized Education Program) team decisions. The Day School provides a structured and supportive educational environment for Evanston students, in the Evanston community!” “The Day School embodies the mission of District 202: ‘Embracing its diversity, ETHS is committed to educating all of its students to their maximum potential.’” The Day School’s mission statement said it is “Designed to improve students’ academic, social-emotional, and post-secondary outcomes, the School responds to unique learning needs with specialized and direct instruction, and individualized services and interventions. will host approximately 20-25 students during the 2019-2020 school year. The Day School, located about three blocks from the school on 1123 Hartrey Ave. Rebecca Lustig, Community Outreach EditorĪ new ETHS Day School was founded to better support students with individual needs.
