Our school continues to implement MTSS-B Tier 2/3 intervention groups that focus on CASEL strategies alongside school-wide expectations. Currently, 36 students are benefiting from Tier 2/3 small group or CICO services with a success rate of 97%. Additionally, our K-3 students have access to PALS, a Tier 2 Intervention program with 15 students receiving prevention services, while 17 students are receiving intervention services. The Tier 2 team has conducted 42 STEP meetings and three threat screenings executed by our counselors and administrators. Since its inception in October, our Wellness Room/Pablo's Den has provided services to 316 students. Our PBIS practices have a positive impact on attendance, discipline, and academic success, with a current YTD attendance rate of 96.2% for K-8 students, and 99% of students having 0-1 ODR school-wide. This academic year has seen only two suspensions and zero expulsions for disciplinary reasons. Lastly, 93% of JH students have a 2.0 GPA or higher.
