Driftwood Middle School implements a variety of intervention strategies to improve the academic performance of students identified by early warning indicators. 

Data is used to assist with the scheduling and placement of students.  Students are scheduled into courses where areas of need can be addressed.  Students not showing adequate progress are referred to the MTSS/RTI Team for further data analysis and to determine if Tier 2 and/or Tier 3 interventions are needed.

Students at Driftwood utilize Read 180 and The Code for Reading/ELA needs and Success Maker for Math remediation and enrichment.  Iready is also being utilized as a supplemental resource for students in reading and math.,  Students participate in on-going assessments for progress monitoring and to assist with the development of individual interventions.  Students will be administered the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) three times throughout the school year for progress monitoring.

Driftwood Middle School offers a range of extended learning opportunities for both remediation and enrichment.  Students are offered programs before school, after school, pull-outs, and Saturday School.  Students are identified and placed utilizing data.

All students will participate in Life Skills and Wellness activities throughout the school year to address a wide-range of topics.  Students participate in resilency lessons each month to assist in providing skills and support.

School Counselors work with teachers and School Social Worker to identify students with attendance concerns.  Student conferences, parent contact, and attendance plans are developed to assist students with improving their overall attendance.  Small groups are developed to meet with students with attendance concerns to address issues and provide a sense of belongness to the school.  The goal is to increase attendance through these interventions.  Students will be discussed on a monthly basis to address supports needed to increase attendance.

Our Zeros Aren’t Permitted (ZAP) program to address students with failing grades.  Teachers, counselors, and administrators work together to assist students in maintaining their grades and passing their classes.  Students are provided with opportunties to make up assignments and to remediate assignments with poor grades.
