Student Support Services
The
Student Support Services (S.S.S.)
is an
innovative program that strives to maximize individual student success
in the regular classroom while at the same time serving as a screening
process for students who may be in need of special education services.
The
S.S.S.
is a positive,
success-oriented team that uses specific assessment and intervention
techniques to help remove educational, behavioral or other stumbling
blocks for all students in the regular classroom.
Any elementary school student who experiences consistent academic or
behavioral problems may be a candidate for
S.S.S.
The
classroom teacher, other educators, or parents identify students for
S.S.S.
The S.S.S. process involves three steps:
Identifying a
student’s need for academic or behavioral support.
Determining the strategies needed to
assist the students.
Implementing intervention strategies
through a continuum of services.
For more information or assistance, see the links below
or contact the Elementary Office.
