1 REQUESTS FOR SUPPORT

Academic:

Math Interventionist

Our current reading interventionist services 40 students in reading and 40
for math across all grade levels. By focusing only in one area, an
interventionist can create more and smaller groups as intended and
service supports with special education students in the specific content,
while the special education teacher focusses on scaffolding the grade level
standards to be taught.


§ FACILITIES

We are very fortunate to be the recipients of a brand new
facility next school year and have no requests at this time, but
would look forward to filling the school with an Assistant
Principal and a STEAM teacher as a 5" specials in the future to
fully support the staff and students.
