Interventions and supports are provided within a Multi-Tiered System that helps APS identify how to best help each student. This means that approximately 80% of students will get what they need with our Tier 1 supports, approximately 15% of students will need more, and approximately 5% of students will need even more supports and interventions. In addition to the staffing and support updates below, please visit APS CARES for local resources personalized to your specific needs.
