Midtown Primary School
98% of our children are the population disproportionately impacted by COVID. The entire plan/strategy revolves around recovering their lost instructional time. We have added 3 years with an additional Interventionist including additional space for that team to deliver to a high percentage of kids throughout the day. We have gotten reading & math curriculum that without the grant, we could not have afforded. We have streamlined our student delivery by adding additional assistants (Title I grant), added a daily tech class so a Data Meeting can occur for each teacher once/week (Title I grant). All teachers are tutoring, differentiating, building relationships and implementing PAX. This is a very successful plan and I hope I have succeeded at conveying it to you.
