Interventions
Response to Intervention (RtI)-SAFE Program
First Line of Action to Aid Struggling Students

The RtI-SAFE process assesses a student's needs and then seeks to put in place an intervention plan to address those needs.
  1. The initial referral may come from a teacher, counselor, administrator or parent and is followed up by a student/teacher meeting.  The teacher involved is at the request of the student.  If you are a parent, please contact your child's counselor to refer them to this program.
  2. The chosen teacher meets with the student to fill out the form: "Response to Intervention: Student/Teacher Intervention" page 1 & page 2, and to create a plan toward overcoming the student's struggles.  This includes: identifying the concerns, developing a plan-of-action, setting a time frame to implement plan, and follow-up by the teacher.
  3. This form is shared with all the student's teachers & their counselor.
Study Skills Class
Study Skills is a course designed to provide students with tools to become successful in their classes. They learn how to keep a daily assignment planner and how to get organized for learning. Students also explore goal setting, career interests and are given opportunities to have extra support in core academic areas.

Student Study Teams (SST)
In the absence of success via other processes, a Student Study Team (SST) may be convened to help solve the student's needs.  SSTs consist of: all the student's teachers, their counselor, an administrator, parents as well as the student.   All team members meet together to brainstorm ideas designed to help the student.
