Student and Parent Complaints and Grievances Cayuga Independent School District has established the following procedures to assist in resolving concerns and complaints. Complaints must always begin at the level in which the concern occurred. CISD encourages students and parents to discuss their concerns and complaints first through informal conferences with the appropriate teacher, principal, or other campus administrator in accordance with Policy FNG(LOCAL) . If an informal conference regarding a complaint fails to reach the requested outcome, the student or parent may initiate the formal process by timely filing a Level One complaint form (See below) at the campus level as described in Policy FNG(LOCAL) and Policy FNG(LEGAL) .

Special Education Section 504 Homebound RtI/MTSS Emergent Bilingual Gifted and Talented Homeless/McKinney-Vento Act Dyslexia Special Education Cayuga ISD participates in the *Anderson County Special Education Cooperative (ACSEC) to provide special education services to students who qualify under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). To qualify for services under IDEA, students must first undergo a Full and Individual Initial Evaluation (FIIE), a process that involves cognitive and achievement testing administered at the school by an educational diagnostician. School staff are required to monitor the progress of all students and initiate an FIIE when a qualifying condition under IDEA is suspected. However, if a parent suspects his or her child has a disability that impacts the child’s learning, a parent-written request for a Full and Individual Initial Evaluation (FIIE) to the campus principal, the child’s teacher, or the district special programs coordinator can be made. Once an FIIE is initiated by school personnel or by written request from the parent, the ACSEC is immediately notified and evaluation personnel proceed within *mandated timelines to conduct the FIIE. For more information about special education services in the school setting and to access numerous parent and family resources, visit SPEDTex.org . Homebound In some cases, students suffer from an illness or injury that causes excessive absences. The Student Attendance Accounting Handbook (SAAH) and Board Policy EEH (LOCAL) provide procedures for facilitating a homebound educational experience in such situations. The parent or guardian of a student who may become confined at home or hospital bedside for a minimum of four weeks as a result of an accident or illness should contact the child’s campus principal and/or the 504 Coordinator to schedule an initial evaluation meeting to determine whether or not homebound services can be considered. Section 504 To qualify for services under Section 504, a student must be determined to: have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; or have a record of such an impairment; or be regarded as having such an impairment. Consideration for a Section 504 Plan with accommodations can be initiated by school personnel or by the parent and should be requested in writing to the campus Principal, Counselor, or the Special Programs Coordinator. Once the request is received, a committee meeting, consisting of those who have insight into how the child’s impairment affects him/her in the educational setting, will convene. Based on a review of school and/or medical records and teacher/ parent input, the committee will determine if a plan consisting of accommodations is required in order for the student to access and benefit from learning opportunities commiserate with his/her non-disabled peers. The *504 Guide published on the Texas Education Agency website, is a great resource for more detailed information on Section 504 Services in the school setting.

Cheerleading Being a cheerleader is more than strictly cheering on the sidelines, supporting your school or taking the competition mat, aiming to impress the judges and fans. You may not realize it at the time, but the benefits of cheer will help take you into the next steps of life in a unique and amazing way. While cheerleading requires several physical skills and strengths needed to stunt, jump or tumble, there is so much personal development that allows athletes to gain practical life skills. These skills include discipline, teamwork and goal setting, all while instilling confidence. Cheerleading is greater than practices, games, community events and competitions that fill your schedule – it’s about developing the best version of yourself and allowing you to seek for your greatest potential. 1/4 Cheer Sponsors Kaylee Singleton HS Sponsor ksingleton@cayugaisd.com Christi Baker MS Sponsor cbaker@cayugaisd.com Important Information Homecoming Info
