Student Assistance Team
Support for Students
The Student Assistance Team is a committee that provides a forum to address the needs of students who are struggling academically. Students may be referred by teachers or parents. The committee meets to determine the best interventions to close gaps in grade level knowledge and skills with Tier II interventions and works with families to access intensive Tier III supports for students with persistent challenges or identified learning disabilities.
Section 504 Accommodations
Some students are eligible for accommodations and modifications as result of an identified mental or physical impairment which is determined to be substantially limiting in the academic environment. Section 504 falls under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is a function of the general education setting.
