Students qualify for migrant education
services if their families work
or have worked, within the past three years, in agriculture, packing,
dairy, fishing, livestock, or forestry. The purpose of the Migrant
Education Program is to help migrant education students attain grade
level
proficiency. Currently, in the Garvey school District, there are
approximately 60 students eligible for programs sponsored by the Migrant
Program. In Order to provide the best programs possible for our
migrant identified students, the Garvey School districict entered the
Rosemead Consortium which is a collaboration among six school districts
in the local area. Services offered to migrant families include
Saturday Literacy Classes, Extended Summer School, tutoring, the MEES
(Migrant Education Even Start) program and the Mini Corp College student
program. Other services include dental screening, medical referrals,
Science Camp, Outdoor Education and Leadership Camp, GED test
preparation classes, parent education programs and workshops as well as
leadership training for parents and students.
