Early Intervention

• When we notice a student is lacking a skill,
  early intervention is a must!
• Small groups, one on one
• First bell is at 750. The earlier your child is
  here, the more help they can receive (small
  group, if needed). Also, your child will finish
  their morning work and be off to a good start,
  without rushing and being behind.

  school every day (unless of course they are

way of phone or email. These messages can include

  school supplies as they need them.
