Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) takes a proactive approach to identify students with academic, attendance, social-emotional, or behavioral needs. Early assessment and intervention for these students can help them catch up with their peers sooner. The key components of MTSS include:
Universal screening of all students early in the school year
Tiers of interventions that can be amplified in response to levels of need
Ongoing data collection and continual assessment
Schoolwide approach to expectations and supports
Parent partnership
The integrated instruction model of MTSS uses collected data to assess student needs and provide them with interventions in appropriate tiers.
Response to Intervention (RTI)
Title I is a federal program that provides additional math and/or reading instruction. The students who qualify are not learning disabled. They just need extra help with math or reading.
What are the goals of Title I? The Title I program strives to provide an environment that:
Promotes a positive attitude toward reading
Improves student achievement in reading/writing
Builds students’ self-esteem and confidence
Enables parents to be math and reading partners with their child
How does my child qualify for Title I? Several different criteria are used to qualify a student. Although standardized test scores must be used for students in third and fourth grades, other criteria are used in addition. Teacher recommendations, parent recommendations, student screening information, and other current student data are used to determine eligibility for Title I services.
Will my child always be in the program? No. We work closely with the classroom teacher to monitor student progress. When a student’s reading or math achievement reaches their appropriate grade level, the student is exited from the program if the Title I teachers and the classroom teacher feels the student no longer needs the extra support.

Parents + Teachers = Successful Kids
Scappoose Schools seek the active participation of all Title I students’ parents in improving their children’s academic achievement. Parents are encouraged to communicate regularly with the Title 1 instructors to discuss the progress of their child.
We encourage your help and assistance in a variety of ways:
Participation in parent/teacher conference days scheduled throughout the school year
Letters and notes to and from home
Telephone conversations between parents and teachers
Activities for families
Experts agree that reading is the basis for school success. Parents play a key role in that success, especially in building necessary reading skills. Parents provide a strong foundation through encouragement, practice, and appropriate setting which are all vital in student success. We thank you in advance for all of your help and assistance in working together with your child to help them succeed in school.
