Multi-Tiered System of Support
(MTSS)
The Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) process is the way the school identfies students in need of additional support. This model uses evidence based practices to design instruction that uses data-based problem-solving to design and implement academic and behavioral interventions. Parents/Guardians should contact their student's counselor to discuss concerns.
