4. A narrative that explains how the MSC will use PFS reports
to assist & assign services to PFS students.
Sample:
The migrant services coordinator will
analyze why the migrant student is
identified as Priority for Services
before considering appropriate
services for each individual.
For example, if the student is in 3rd
grade, has education interruption and
has failed the TAKS reading, the
student will be assigned a Play
Station with a reading program so
that the student can practice reading
skills in an innovative way and
simultaneously improve his/her
reading fluency. The student must
master each level before moving to
the next one. His/her progress will
be monitored according to the level
that the student has achieved.
REGION ONE ESC
5. Include when the MSC & staff will make home and/or
community visits to update parents on the academic
progress of their children..
Sample:
The migrant services coordinator,
community liaisons and/or
recruiters will make home visits
every 3rd week of each 6 weeks
as an intervention strategy to
keep parent(s) abreast of child’s
academic progress, share
instructional services provided
by the campus, let parent know
what service is appropriate to
assist the child in improving
his/her skills and ask the parent
to share the responsibility of
monitoring the child’s progress.
REGION ONE ESC
6. A narrative that explains how the MSC will ensure that PFS
students receive priority access to social workers &
community social services/agencies.
Sample
The migrant services coordinator will
obtain a list of community services from
the recruiter and a list of social
services agencies from the campus
counselor. These lists will be shared
with all migrant personnel and with
parents. PFS students will be
considered a priority and will be
interviewed on a one-to-one basis by the
campus/migrant counselor. The
campus/migrant counselor will
recommend services for PFS students
based on the interview. This information
will be provided to the MSC.
Recruiters/community liaisons will
follow-up with each PFS student/parent
to ensure that services are provided.
