Educators are in a unique position to help students learn to cope in a healthy way.
Our crisis intervention team has a plan in place that allows administrators and school staff to react quickly and effectively to the impact of a crisis. The Student Support Team members include regular classroom teachers, a reading specialist and a school psychologist. The purpose of the Student Support Team is to help classroom teachers develop strategies to meet the needs of individual students who may be struggling academically or behaviorally, but are not eligible for special education services. Students are referred by the classroom teacher. The team meets twice a week.
