What does IRR mean?

Immediate Reinforcement and Remediation



  • The Immediate Reinforcement and Remediation (IRR) method is advocated as a systematic approach to aid in the success of mainstreamed elementary slow learning- and learning-disabled students.
  • We focus on the foundational skills in Math, Reading and ELA to enforce the learning, understanding and application of grade level standards within the General Education classroom setting.
  • Park Street Elementary IRR Team asks, that each student practices reading at home with a parent and or family members 10-15 min per day ( A text that they are -interested in, Newspaper, Comic Book, Magazine, Decodable Book, etc.).
  • For Math, we ask that each student practices building their knowledge and understanding of Double-Digit Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division Facts.
  • Specialized instruction

Transportation

If there is a change in transportation arrangements, we require notice from the parent before allowing students to be transported by anyone other than a parent. You may send in a note with your child or email parkstreet@marietta-city.org with the details of the change. We do not allow students to walk or to ride home with unauthorized people. If you must make a change during the day, notify the school office staff before 2:30 p.m.


Pick-up by Car in the Afternoon

Anyone picking up a child must have his/her Panther Car Tag. If you do not have a Panther Car Tag, you may get one by coming to the front office.


Tardy Drop-Off

When a student arrives late (after 8:30), an adult must sign the student in at the office.


Early Pick-Up

Please limit early pick-up of children to emergencies and appointments. If a child is out for any portion of the school day, the missed time is recorded as a tardy. A note sent in the morning will help us to have your child ready. To avoid interruptions to instruction, no student will be released between 2:45 and 3:15. Parents will be asked to wait for the dismissal bell. Come to the office to check out a student. Please be prepared to present photo identification upon request. No student will be released to an unknown or unauthorized person.


Late Pick-Up

Students waiting to be picked up will be supervised until 3:30. After 3:30 they may be sent to the After School Program if they are pre-registered ($10 fee). Regular after school charges will apply. Many parents sign up for the program so their children can attend in case of emergency.
