Groups
Students may attend a small group with the school counselor in order to work on behavior, social skills, or emotional concerns. Ms. Dickey is taking lead on groups this year, so they will primarily be scheduled at the start of the week. Please refer to her letter (COMING SOON) for more information. Groups are usually short term (6-8 weeks) interventions.
Check-In/Check-Out (CICO)
This program connects students with an adult mentor who works with them to set goals and track data on their behavior. They meet with this adult for a few minutes at the start and end of their day. More information is coming soon, but if you are willing to be a CICO mentor, please contact Ms. Brown.
More information on Tier 2 supports will be coming as the year continues. Remember, any time we begin doing something with one of our students at Tier 2 or 3 - anything we're not providing to ALL students - there should be an MTSS plan in place in Synergy.
Bear in mind, supports like groups and CICO are Tier 2 interventions, and often are not as beneficial for our Tier 3 students unless there are other strategies in place.
