A Message from the Principal

Learning at home:

The information provided comes from Reading Rockets. CVTSS (Chino Valley Tiered Systems of Support) isn’t a specific curriculum. It’s a proactive approach that has key elements:

Universal screening for all students early in each school year
Increasing levels of targeted support for those who are struggling
Integrated plans that address students’ academic, behavioral, social, and emotional needs
A schoolwide approach to student support, with teachers, counselors, psychologists, and other specialists working as a team to assess students and plan interventions.
Professional development so staff can provide interventions and monitor progress effectively
Family involvement so parents and caregivers can understand the interventions and give support at home
Frequent monitoring of students’ progress to help decide if they need more interventions
The use of evidence-based strategies at every tier of support

Reading Support at Home:

Below are two simple recommendations from the National Education Association that parents and guardians can do to support reading at home.

Encourage re-reading. Repetition helps kids learn. Re-reading favorite books and poems helps kids make meaningful connections between themselves and books.
Connect reading and writing. Write your own reading material, like a story about your life, a story featuring your kids, or a story kids make up.

Math Recommended Support at Home:
