Using the data below, describe all intervention strategies employed by the school to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system.

Atlantic Technical College and Technical High School employ a variety of intervention strategies to improve the academic performance of students.  First our classroom teachers use the tracking system in FOCUS to record Teacher Strategies.  Here, they make notes of the academic or behavior concern students are encountering in the classroom.  They document the strategies implemented to date and results.  Once a teacher records an MTSS strategy, a courtesy email is sent to the School Counselor from the teacher.  Counselors document the documentation panel in FOCUS and meet with the student to discuss and then communicate with the classroom teacher.  Once a student has three unsuccessful teacher interventions, the school counselor will create an MTSS referral.  Through our MTSS Team, individual students and their needs are discussed, and an action plan is created to address their needs.  Parents or guardians are also notified and included in the decision-making process. 

Student grades and GPAs are evaluated multiple times each quarter.  School counselors pull a D/F report at four weeks and eight weeks into the quarter.  They solicit input from the classroom teacher and discuss grades with students to determine an action plan.  They then monitor the students and document outcomes.  Students who drop below the required 2.5 GPA are placed on Academic Probation.  A conference is being held with the students, parents, administrator, and school counselor where a plan is developed to help the student improve. 
 
Since attendance is key to academic success, it is monitored very closely.  Interventions occur in the following intervals: 3, 5, and 10 days of absences.  For students currently identified with documented needs, teachers follow the IEP or 504 Plan for instructional accommodation and support services as required.
