The overall goal of our academic safety net program is to provide extra assistance to those students in grades K-5 who have consistently performed below academic standards at our school. We use six criteria to make this determination:
1.

These student are identified from the bottom 25% in performance in reading and mathematics as indicated on FCAT and the CCE Screening and Progress Monitoring Assessment Ø Academic Coaches in grade levels 3-5 provide in classroom small group instruction Paraprofessionals provide individualized tutoring during school to students identified as at risk in Kindergarten in reading, writing and mathematics Ø Chets Creek teachers provide before/after school tutoring to select students in grades K-5 in reading, writing and mathematics Reading Mastery and GREAT LEAPS instruction Ø Provided during school in grades K-2 for the lowest 25% of readers at each grade level.
