Student Study Teams (SST’s)
The goal of the Student Study Team is to meet together as staff and parents to discuss a child’s progress in school. Teachers or parents may ask for a meeting anytime they are concerned about a student. The team discusses strategies and approaches to better help the student. If at anytime you are concerned about your student’s progress in school, please discuss it with the teacher and ask for a SST meeting.
Speech Therapy
The speech therapy program is designed to identify and assist students with speech problems. Children suspected of having a problem are referred to the speech therapist for evaluation through the SST process. If a problem is identified, the child will be placed on the speech therapist’s schedule.
