What do I do if I know a child who is struggling in any area?

Kenesaw Public School has a policy that follows the Student Assistance Team (SAT) process.

Option 1: Talk to your doctor about your concerns. The doctor may/may not make a referral.

INTERVENTIONS

*There may be a meeting with the parents and the classroom teacher to determine if interventions are needed.

*Scenario 1: The teacher will offer extra support within the classroom. Interventions were implemented and successful.

*Scenario 2: The teacher has tried some interventions and monitored student progress. The interventions are not successful.

*The classroom teacher completes a referral to SAT (Student Assistance Team - a team of teachers).
