Is Your Child Struggling In School?

If you have specific questions about your child's academic progress and or behavior needs, please reach out to your child's teacher first. All students benefit from additional support in general education using data to determine areas of need. This support can be provided through the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) or Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS) frameworks.

Multi-Tiered System of Supports

What is MTSS?

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a system used to identify struggling students and provide the support they need to succeed.  The Intervention Response Team (IRT) is the team that meets to discuss struggling students. This team is made up of the School Administration, Teaching staff, and the School Psychologist. 

The IRT Chair receives referrals from teachers, staff and parents when a student is in need of support.  Interventions are then put into place for the student.  If progress is not made the team will meet with the parents and student (where appropriate) to discuss further supportive options.  If you feel your student needs intervention please contact their teacher or the IRT Chair to begin interventions.
