Relocation of the Early Intervention Academy

  • March 2020

    The Early Intervention Academy (EIA) is being relocated from the Ridgemont Early Childhood Center to Quail Valley Elementary. Relocating the EIA will allow the District to manage projected enrollment during the 2020-21 school year, while providing parents of children served at the EIA with a more centralized location that better serves families across the District. The change in locations will not affect the educational and support services students are currently receiving. All services will continue as planned at the new location.

    Effective July 30, 2020 and until further notice:

    · The EIA will officially close the location at the Ridgemont Early Childhood Center and relocate to Quail Valley Elementary.

    · All returning and newly enrolled students served at the EIA will report to the new Quail Valley Elementary location for the start of the 2020-21 school year.

    TO OUR EARLY INTERVENTION ACADEMY COMMUNITY:

    At the February 24 Regular Board Meeting, the Board was notified that the Early Intervention Academy (EIA) will be relocated from its current location at the Ridgemont Early Childhood Center to a new location, Quail Valley Elementary School. Relocating the EIA will provide a more central location for this program that serves families across the District, while helping to manage projected enrollment for the 2020-21 school year and beyond.

    Please be assured that the change in locations will not affect the educational and support services students are currently receiving. All services will continue as planned at the new location.

    To summarize our plans for the Early Intervention Academy (EIA):

    · The EIA will be relocating from the Ridgemont Early Childhood Center to Quail Valley Elementary this summer in time for the start of the 2020-21 school year.

    · The final day that the EIA will be housed at the Ridgemont Early Literacy Center will be July 30, 2020.

    · All current educational and support services provided to students served at the EIA at the Ridgemont Early Literacy Center will continue when students relocate to the new location at Quail Valley Elementary.

    · Transportation services will continue for students who require them.
