Similarly, students with chronic missing assignments will stay after school on Monday, Tuesday, and/or Thursday to receive teacher support in completing their assignments until all work is completed.
Mentoring
An opportunity for a student to connect more routinely with an adult in the building to receive support in regards to academic, social, or functional needs and to receive more one-on-one, individualized support.
Check In, Check Out (CICO)
In order to encourage students to self monitor and independently manage behavior, students check in and out with an assigned staff member/ mentor at the beginning and end of the day and receive a daily progress report that was completed with classroom teachers throughout the day.
Social/Academic Instructional Groups (SAIG)
Students are supported in a small group for direct instruction, structured practice, reinforcement of critical skills. Members of the guidance department( social workers and school psychologist) facilitate these groups and generally use a set curriculum.
