Central MTSS Newsletters

At Central, we use MTSS to support academic and behavior needs. Our MTSS team meets weekly to discuss both academics and behavior.

Students receive services at all levels, depending on need.

	Academic	Behavior/Social Emotional
Tier 1	Evidence based core reading and math curriculum Reteaching practices followed by re-testing Student friendly learning objectives posted in every classroom School wide reading and math fact fluency practice daily	PBIS Classroom and Common area expectations (taught and practiced) Positive reinforcement (PRIDE tickets), Classroom and Office Winners Strong teacher and student relationships Social emotional curriculum
Tier 2	Interventions or Enrichment – 5 days a week, 30 minutes a day Evidence based intervention curriculum Fidelity checks of curriculum implementation Progress monitoring twice a month	Check In/Check Out (CICO) Small group skill instruction
Tier 3	Individual interventions built into the day as needed Evidence based intervention curriculum Fidelity monitoring of curriculum implementation	Individual behavior plan based on function Individual group skill instruction

All students will receive Tier 1 support. As needed they may receive an additional layer of support with Tier 2 or 3.

Check In/Check Out Check In/Check Out is a positive behavior support. Teachers will still be using effective classroom management strategies, but students who require extra positive behavior support will be selected for the Central CICO Club. Here is how it will work:

Selected students will check in with an assigned staff member at the start of the school day.
The staff member gives the student a CICO card, which focuses on PRIDE expectations. The CICO card provides a positive way for students to track progress throughout his/her day.
At the end of the school day, the student checks out with an assigned staff member. Student progress is recorded at that time.
At home, parents can ask about the CICO card results.
