The office of Academic Support helps students achieve success through a variety of interventions and programs.
-
Intervention (RtI)
This program, also known as Response-to-Intervention (RtI) collects achievement data on students at regular intervals and then provides them with targeted support. Some intervention occurs in the classroom and sometimes this support occurs in a separate location by a teacher with unique knowledge and skills.

Dyslexia Services
Dyslexia is a neurobiological learning disability in which students have difficulty with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and have poor spelling and decoding abilities. Students are screened for dyslexia in early elementary and those who demonstrate characterizes of the disorder can be evaluated for additional support through Section 504 as described above.

General Education Homebound
When a student has a tragic accident or other serious medical issue that requires them to miss 4 or more weeks of school, they can qualify for homebound services. This program allows a certified teacher to provide weekly instructional support in the home environment for up to 4 hours weekly. This service must be mandated by a licensed physician and approved by a committee on the child’s home campus.
Additional information about the General Education Homebound program is coming soon.
