Basic Skills Services

Our district has a well-developed system of early identification and intervention for students who demonstrate difficulty in meeting academic expectations. 

The Basic Skills Program is an academic intervention program that provides small group instruction, as well as, collaborative teaching in the general education classroom for students who need additional support to meet grade level expectations in reading, written expression, and mathematics. This program incorporates a variety of multi-sensory teaching methods and materials to complement classroom instruction. Ultimately, the program strives to equip learners with skills and strategies that they can apply independently. Student performance and progress are closely monitored and reported to parents. Informal assessments and a set of criteria are used to determine entrance and exit from the program.
