Learning Support in Middle School

In the Middle School, Learning Specialists employ an executive functioning coaching model to help students transition to discipline-based content and skills. Whereas there is minor remediation of basic skills in grades 5 and 6, in grades 7 and 8 Learning Support time is used to organize materials and homework, study for quizzes and tests, and receive assistance completing specific assignments. Middle School students may be scheduled in Learning Support in place of taking a foreign language or during a study hall. Middle School students are required to have current psychoeducational testing on file to receive services, so parents are advised to have the necessary documentation.
