Special Help

Students who are academically struggling have several avenues to pursue to improve:

  1. Classroom teacher help before and after school.
  2. Staffings - meetings with teachers, parents and principal.  This meeting would be the springboard for a variety of possible services:
  • Title I
  • PET referral
  • Referral to a doctor

Once the staffing and Pupil Evaluation Team Meeting determines the service needed, students are allocated an array of possibilities.

Non-categorical Resource Room - The resource room program offers students small group instruction by a qualified teacher and assistant. Students must have certain educationally handicapping conditions and be recommended by the PET for this program.

Speech Therapy - Speech, hearing and language development therapy is offered for students referred by the PET.

Title One Reading and Math Program - Students in the Title One program have special needs in reading and/or math, which, with specialized instruction on a one-to-one or small group basis, can be corrected.
