Frequently Asked Questions
Who Is Eligible?
All students may have access to Intervention services through the tiered process. Typically, TIER II and TIER III intervention supports are reserved for students that fall in the bottom 40th percentile in Reading, Math, Writing, and Behavior. As student needs increase more instructional supports are added.
Who would communicate if my child is in Intervention?
The classroom teacher is the primary person responsible for communicating your child's academic progress and participation in intervention services. All parents are notified in writing by our intervention team when a student enters or exits intervention.
Who teaches intervention?
All classroom teachers are responsible for teaching Tier I and Tier II. At Crestwood, there are additional staff that may support students in Tier III.
How will I know if my student is making progress?
Progress reports will go home for intervention students on the same schedule as the regular education report cards. Up-to-date information should be available to parents every two weeks upon request.
Who is the primary contact in the building if I am concerned about my students academic / social progress?
Your child's classroom teacher should always be the first point of contact for any academic or social concerns. Crestwood Elementary School's Intervention / Title 1 contact is Rosie Sanders, mary.sanders@oldham.kyschools.us, and is available to discuss any concerns relating to intervention.
