Please be aware that a combination of data points drives final decisions for movement in the tiers. A recommendation does not guarantee student movement in the tiers, but it doesn't ensure the student's data and performance is evaluated, so an informed decision can be made.

Parent/guardian recommendations
Attendance & transience
Behavior (referrals, grade-level tracker points, restorative services flag, etc.)
