Academics

Students on the elementary campus who have been identified with learning disabilities or evidence significant learning challenges, will be evaluated by the Success Teacher with the goal of creating a plan to provide support for the student within the classroom environment. The program is one in which the student receives instruction in the regular classroom and accommodations that have been approved by the Success Teacher will be implemented by the classroom teacher when necessary to support student learning. Students who exhibit at-risk achievement may receive additional remediation during the school day with the Success Teacher.
