student's needs, then the parents are asked to provide these services and/or use the services provided by the Nido Learning Resource Center (LRC). If the family chooses to do a diagnostic evaluation or receive services from their own provider and not the LRC, the family agrees to provide all evaluations and reports, full and complete, to Nido. Families are required to fully disclose student needs at the time of application. Failure to accurately represent the information or omitting information can lead to revocation of enrollment.

Students whose academic needs exceed the capacity of Nido’s Tier 3 level of support will follow the normal protocol of retention if they are unable to meet the basic academic standard. Students who are retained two times will not be considered for re-enrollment. The parents of students in this situation, who are receiving additional support, will meet with administration and be provided with written notice, reviewing the case and notifying the parents of the school’s actions.

The Student Study Team (SST) and the Student Intervention Plan

The Student Study Team (SST) is a collaborative, school-based, problem-solving team that is organized to address academic, medical, behavioral/emotional and/or other problems which may interfere with a student’s ability to obtain an appropriate education. The SST may be convened after interventions have been attempted within the classroom. SST members may include teachers, support staff, administration, and counselors. At times, it is also appropriate to include parents and students in these meetings. The SST develops strategies for intervention, monitors progress and determines actionable items to address concerns.

Media Center

Nido's Media Center program expands the learning experience beyond the wall of the classroom into the world. The Media Center is a central hub for learning, teaching, research, experimentation, practice, creation, collaborative work, and play. In a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere, reading, discovery, imagination, and creativity come alive. Wonder and curiosity become central to academic, personal, social, and cultural growth. As a research facility and a “curiosity and exploration lab” , the Media Center provides opportunities to develop inquiry-based skills and habits of the mind, which will enable students to continue their individual quests for learning throughout their lives.

Media Center Hours

The Media Center hours are from 7:00 am - 4:00 pm from Monday through Friday. The 2nd Floor will be closed to the public when being used for faculty professional learning on early release Wednesdays from 2:30 pm on.
