Instructional Support Services are designed to provide educational services to students with disabilities. There are many circumstances that may affect a student's ability to learn. When a student is having difficulty in high school, our Pupil Personnel Team meets to discuss the issues impeding a student's progress. We offer suggestions and create a plan to meet the student's educational needs in the general education classroom. To meet the individual needs of all students in the general education classroom, Academic Intervention Services are available for our at risk students including participation in SETSS, Counseling, Speech Therapy, extended day instruction, and tutoring in academic subjects. If a child has been classified with an Individualized Education Plan, an educational program is developed to support the student's academic progress.

The student's IEP specifies the type of instructional program and the goals and services that will help the student develop the skills needed for graduation from Richmond Hill High School.

Special Education Teacher Support Services (SETSS)

This service is provided by a Special Education teacher working collaboratively with the General Education teacher to offer the student academic support. The group size is eight students per class and provides individualized instruction for each student. In order to meet the individual needs of our students, we provide a Push-in program and a Pull-Out program.

Collaborative Team Teaching (CTT)

The Collaborative Team Teaching Class is a program in a General Education classroom. The CTT is taught by a licensed special education teacher and a general education teacher. The class instruction is designed and planned by both teachers. The class instruction provides access to the general education curriculum and to assist all students within the class to achieve academic success.
