GA MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) is a system designed to help all children succeed by providing different levels of support based on student needs (academics, behavior and well-being)

Here at West Manor:

• The MTSS Specialist, Teachers, and Instructional Coaches frequently review student data such as MAP, classwork and classroom assessments to determine possible need for additional, tiered support.
• If it is determined that additional support is needed, we discuss after-school tutorial, tiered support during small group instruction time, support through wrap around providers for therapy, speech interventions, etc.
• Progress monitoring occurs weekly for some students and bi-weekly for others. After collecting data, we decide if the student can be moved back to tier 1 (regular classroom instruction), if the current interventions should continue, or if time and frequency should increase.
• If progress is limited, we may consider referral for a psychological evaluation with parents’ consent.

Questions to consider…

Is my student consistently performing below the 20^th percentile on MAP assessments and failing core content classes?

Has my scholar received a flag on the Dyslexia screener, Amira, along with failing scores? This screener is only for students in grades K-3 except for parent opt out.

Does it appear that my scholar has issues processing information/content taught?

Is my scholar responding to the classroom behavior system?

Has your scholar recently experienced a traumatic life event?

Reminders:

Remain in communication with your child’s teacher.

Support your scholar(s) in completing their homework.

Consider the after-school tutorial program.

Review progress reports, MAP/Dyslexia reports (K-3) and report cards.
