The Week of May 26, 2008

Dear Parents:
I hope everyone has a relaxing Memorial Day weekend! With no school on Monday, that means there's only one Monday left of school. Where does time go?

Center Cass School District #66 is in the process of implementing an Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) mandate, Response to Intervention (RTI). RTI is an array of procedures that can be used to determine if and how students respond to specific changes in instruction. RTI provides an improved process and structure for school teams in designing, implementing, and evaluating educational interventions.
Please look for the additional information on RTI, which will be included with your child’s end of the year Report Card.
