Welcome to Tier II
Plus Math! Mrs. Esther M.
Downes
|
|
Our Tier II Plus Math Program is an
outstanding component of the total educational experience available to the
students of the Smyrna School District.
Both Clayton Elementary and Smyrna Elementary again CELEBRATE
being recognized as “Superior” schools for the 2009-2010 school year! WOW! This has been accomplished through the
efforts of our children, their parents, their teachers, and a caring,
compassionate support staff in each building. In the Tier II Math Plus Program, Mrs.
Downes, Mrs. Murry, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Morris, and Mrs. Popovitch work
closely with the homeroom teacher to reinforce and supplement the skills and
concepts being introduced in the homeroom class. Our students are provided up to 30 minutes of individual or
small group instruction on a daily basis as needed. This does not replace regular instruction in the classroom, nor
is it a special education program.
Hopefully, it is a “revolving door” where children can receive extra
help with weaker skills. Once these
skills are mastered, the child no longer receives the services. Our program also focuses on preparing
your child for the DSTP Math Testing.
This year’s testing will be given Wednesday and Thursday, March 10 and
11, 2010. Have no fear; your children
will be READY!!! Please feel free to visit Mrs. Downes in Room 401 at
Smyrna Elementary in the mornings, or in Room 16 at Clayton Elementary in the
afternoons if you have any concerns or requests. Please know we appreciate all the support we receive from
parents. EXCELLENT
