Multi-Tiered System of Supports- MTSS
Parent/Guardian Referral Form-
Overview of MTSS Grant (Multi-Tiered System of Supports):
MTSS is a 3-year grant that supports a cohesive framework used to align resources and initiatives in order to meet the academic and behavioral needs of ALL students. It is a method of organization which ensures optimal educational outcomes for students. It aligns the entire system of supports, encompassing RtI (Response to Intervention) and PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports), and ensures effective team-based problem solving that is data informed and evidenced-based.
CCSD’s model for MTSS consists of six essential components:
This systemic approach supports struggling learners, as well as advanced learners, through the selection of evidenced-based interventions in response to both academic and behavioral needs. The system includes ongoing progress monitoring of the effectiveness of instruction to ensure that ALL students graduate from high school ready for career or college.
If you have any questions, please contact Fritsch Elementary at 775-283-1400 and ask for the Vice Principal. Thank you!
