Learn more about what we offer!
Most of these staff members are also part of our RTI (Response to Intervention) team, sharing their expertise to identify and/or implement targeted interventions to help students. RTI is used to provide high-quality instruction and monitor student progress. This team meets regularly and works with parents to discuss a child's progress and determine the most appropriate types of support for that student.
We are grateful to them for their dedication and commitment to our students!
