Philosophy:
In striving for academic excellence, Holy Family School takes the individual needs of all of our students into account. Through the GAINS Program we are better able to reach our students who learn differently and provide them with skills which allow them to be more successful in the regular classroom setting.
Purpose:
- To give support to students, teachers and parents
- To identify and provide early intervention to students who lack proficient reading, writing and spelling skills (Barton Reading and Spelling Program)
- Give 1-1 instruction a minimum of 2 times per week (Reading, Gr.1-8) and small group instruction 2 times a week (Math, Gr. 6-8)
- Identify minor adjustments for student success in the classroom
- Educate and support parents in ways to help their child be more successful
- Triannual reading assessment in grades K-3 to assure every student is on target to meet grade level benchmark goals
