2ND GRADE GROWTH MINDSET!
Second Grade is off to a great start to the new school year! We are already growing our brains as we learn about having a growth mindset. We are focusing on knowing that it is ok to make mistakes. That mistakes are proof that you are trying! The second graders created colorful posters that help reminded us to have a positive mindset and to never give up even when it is a challenge. We have also been enjoying our new furniture! The students enjoy having flexible seating and a variety of spots around the room where they can learn and work in small groups or independently if they choose to. It has been a busy and excited first few weeks of school!
APPROPRIATE SHOES NEEDED FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND PLAY!
Please make sure your child/ren are wearing appropriate shoes to school.
Each student has two recesses a day and Physical Education and Music during the week.
The rigor of play and movement during these times requires proper footwear.
Students should not be wearing: heels, open-toe sandals, slides, slippers or "CROCS!"
Crocs seem to have made a come back to popularity, please keep them at home!

FRASER MTSS: Multi-Tiered System of Support
Dear Fraser Families,
Fraser’s teaching staff is committed to helping all students succeed. The Mission Statement for our district is “Innovate. Learn. Lead.” There are many ways to help students to be as successful as possible. We also realize here at Fraser, that our students do not come to us as “one size fits all” learners, have different learning styles, and learn at different rates. Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is one way to offer needed support.
Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is a process of providing educational and behavioral support. There are three tiers in this approach, and they are as follows:
Tier I: ALL students receive the core curriculum and instruction in their regular education classrooms as well as School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (SW-PBIS). The teachers work with all students at their individual levels.
Tier II: ALL students receive the core curriculum and instruction in their regular education classrooms. The school provides targeted interventions to students who need more support in addition to what they are receiving in their general education classroom.
Tier III: Students in this tier receive more intensive interventions. They are exposed to the core curriculum in their general education classroom but need more intensive interventions on basic skills that usually requires an individual learning or behavioral plan.
Fraser Public Schools has developed a timeline for student assessments. Your child’s general education teacher conducts additional and more frequent progress monitoring to move students fluidly through these tiers as needed based on each students’ assessment data. As a parent, you will be notified by your child’s school if your child moves into a different tier of support.
If you have any questions about MTSS, please do not hesitate to contact us. Also, the Fraser website has additional information on MTSS as well.
Sincerely,
Sara Delgado, Ph.D.
Director of Elementary Instruction

Director of Secondary Instruction
