In every classroom in our district, we believe every student can succeed.

To do so, we use the Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports (MTSS), a framework applied at the state, district, and school levels that uses implementation science to create one integrated system. Designed to support the needs of all students, MTSS is a prevention-based framework of team-driven, data-based problem solving for improving student outcomes through family, school, and community partnerships, and a layered continuum of evidence-based practices applied at the classroom, school, district, region, and state level.

By using a variety of formal and informal assessments, we collaborate and problem-solve to meet each student’s needs. The earlier we address a concern, the greater the chances that the student will meet or exceed grade-level expectations and / or performance goals.

Each building has a support team of interventionists who support classroom teachers and students throughout the school year. Interventionists will work directly with classroom teachers to provide re-teaching and / or enrichment opportunities for students as needed, based on the student’s specific academic or behavior needs. If a student needs ongoing intervention to close multiple skill gaps or advance their skills, the school will contact the family to share a more tailored intervention plan with goals and services.
