How does Oak Street Elementary ensure every student gets the support they need to succeed? In this School Spotlight episode, learn about our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and meet the team working together to support students academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally.

In This Episode:

MTSS is a general education framework—not a special education program—designed to provide timely, data-driven support for all students. Our Student Support Team includes counselors, a school social worker, school psychologist, behavior specialist, and special education administrator, all working collaboratively to help students thrive.

You'll hear about:

• The three-tier system of support and what each level provides
• How we use data to identify and respond to student needs
• The specific role each team member plays in supporting students
• How parents can partner with us and when to reach out
• Common questions about MTSS and its relationship to special education

Key Message:

No one works in isolation at Oak Street Elementary. When concerns arise, we look at the whole child—academics, behavior, social skills, emotional wellbeing, and environmental factors—rather than focusing on just one piece. Parents are always welcome partners in this work.

If you have concerns about your child, contact your child's general education teacher as a first step. We value your partnership and look forward to working together.
