Special thanks to Ms. Linde Walter and Mrs. Kloreace Linke for providing a comprehensive summary of our district Multi–Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) process and Student Assistance Team (SAT) procedures.

The consistency of implementing these processes in a collaborative manner and providing supports that positively impact our students and families is crucial to improving overall student achievement.
