Always begin with a positive student commentState your concerns as concerns, and follow with specific examplesPhrase your concern in terms of the students behavior, not personal attributesAsk for specific help from the parentCome to an agreement on how you, the parent and the student will adequately address the issues of concernCAVALIERSTier One: Resources Available to All StudentsTier Two: Resources Required For Identified StudentsTier Three: Required Intensive Interventions for Identified StudentsSchool WideSchool WideCore BasedCore Based* Learning Seminars * Flip Flop Passes * Writing CenterMath Saturday SOL SessionsFull day boot camp field trip social studiesAfter school remediation sessionsAfter School SupportContent Specific Honor Society tutorsDeveloping LiteraciesDouble Block Alg ?
