data to determine who is experiencing academic difficulty. The principal will also monitor report cards. Students are monitored and referred to the School Support Team when necessary.

• Intervention for reading and math are available. Tier II students receive an additional 30 minutes of reading instruction from the teacher. Tier III students receive daily intensive instruction from the Interventionists. Students participate in Headsprout and Stanford Math weekly.
