Your Student Has Been Accepted. Now What?
After the CTSVI receives notice that the student is accepted, the CTSVI will be contacted by one or more of our administrative team members to:
- Send emails about travel information, what to pack, registration and driving directions, when to arrive/depart, staff contact info, etc.
- Send email including all other forms necessary for attendance.
- Finalize transportation arrangements if needed.
- Discuss the process for completing or updating the student’s online application information. Except in extenuating, prearranged circumstances, the application must be completed at least two weeks before the program begins. Students cannot attend the program if their application has not been received.
The class coordinator will call or email the CTSVI to discuss the student. Returning students may be handled by email whereas new students probably require a telephone discussion. Other persons may be included in this conversation, as preferred in each individual situation (e.g., parent, math teacher). The purpose is to:
- Obtain specific information about the student’s present level of performance in the instructional areas selected.
- Obtain information about modifications, materials and strategies for working effectively with the student.
- Discuss homework and other assignments that the student will bring if attending a week-long program.
- Discuss various activities to be performed by TSBVI and by the local district to maintain skills after a Short-Term program.
- Confirm plans for mode of transportation to and from the program.
