NH’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports for Behavioral Health and Wellness (MTSS-B) framework is a comprehensive system of social, emotional, and behavioral supports to promote student wellness and improve engagement in learning. Based on the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF), MTSS-B blends research-based school wellness practices and social-emotional learning with a tiered prevention framework.
In order to ensure our students are making adequate progress, and to respond to student needs in a proactive way, the Merrimack School District regularly reviews important student data such as academic assessment information, report card grades, office discipline referrals, and attendance. These pieces of information are used to indicate whether or not a student needs additional consideration for support and services to prevent a student from falling behind their peers. If additional support is needed, parents are notified and given the option to opt their student in or out of the support being offered.
