Transition Planning
Upon registration, please let the registrar know that you are active in the military. Once registration is complete, the students will be led by a member of our student-led transition team on a tour of our school.
Academic Planning
Our instructional coach works to ensure all students are growing academically. Any students who are not responding well to Tier I instruction will be referred to our MTSS team to come up with interventions to address any gaps in learning. Our students will receive additional academic support and social emotional learning support with our school’s social worker.
School’s Student-Led Transition Program
New students will be led on a school tour by a member of our team. The students will be able to meet with the team monthly and the school counselor as often as needed during the transition process.
