Staff members at Canfield Schools are dedicated to providing academic and behavior support in order to allow students to achieve academic success. In order to ensure all students receive the highest educational support, Canfield Schools has partnered with the Mahoning County Juvenile Court to create an Early Warning System (EWS) team for students. These teams are comprised of school counselors, teachers, principals, School Resource Officers, as well as the Juvenile Court and Alta Behavioral Healthcare who offer experience in mental health and education. Supports offered by EWS may include but are not limited to tutoring, positive social recreational outlets, mentoring, behavioral health services or substance abuse services. The EWS team will provide these interventions to ensure the student has as many opportunities for success throughout their school experience as possible.
The Student Support Team (SST) members believe that students will benefit from an intervention plan based on his/her current attendance, behaviors, and grades. We believe that an Individualized Service Plan (ISP) will help with the student with these indicators, so the student can be more successful in school.
EWS Team's and the ISP's work this way:
The EWS team will determine the best interventions to utilize in the ISP based on your child's attendance, behavior, and grades that will allow them to improve and achieve success in school.
An ISP is an individualized intervention plan for your child that focuses on providing supports to help him/her engage in positive behaviors and obtain success in school.
The EWS team will utilize school based interventions, as well as community resources, and specialized court programs in the ISP in order to ensure your son or daughter receives the highest quality and individualized care.
An additional resource that is now available to your student, through the EWS, is access to a free and confidential behavioral health screening. With a parent's consent, a brief screening can be completed by a Master's level counselor and can provide helpful feedback and recommendations for additional supports and resources.
In addition, any student who is struggling with a life event such as trauma, loss of a loved one or illness can be referred to the SST.
If you have any questions about SST or would like to make a referral, please contact your student’s school counselor by clicking HERE.
