As young people grow and pass through different developmental stages, they may find that their school needs also change. Our team is here to support students and families through every stage of education.
Academic Concerns
It is always best to address your questions and concerns to your child's homeroom teacher first. This teacher knows your child best and will have access to their current assessment data and academic progress.
The Molin School offers three levels of support for every student. Instruction begins in the classroom through the core curriculum. Teachers may use a variety of approaches and accommodations to help students learn. See our District Accommodation Plan for some examples of strategies all learners may need to make progress.
If classroom assessments (including observation, teacher-created assessments, and assessment tools like iReady) shows a student may need more support in a specific area, the teacher may try a targeted intervention like small group reteaching of a concept.
If a student continues to struggle, a teacher may recommend more intensive intervention with our math or literacy interventionist. The interventionists typically work with students for short periods of time to address identified weaknesses. Intervention may take place in small groups or individually.
Special Education
In some cases, a student may be referred for further testing to determine if they qualify for special education services. Please see our Special Education page for information on the Individual Education Plan (IEP) process, special education supports, and specialized programs.
Our Team Coordinator can answer specific questions and support you in finding answers about Special Education.
504 Accommodation Plans
Students with disabilities may qualify for an accommodation plan. Please see the Section 504 webpage for more details. Our 504 Coordinator can answer specific questions about 504 accommodation plans.
Social Emotional Concerns
We recognize that upper elementary students may need a little extra support with their social-emotional growth and development. Our core instruction provides opportunities for our students to build skills working with others, navigating social conflicts, and problem-solving. Our staff are all trauma-informed and are experienced in creating a responsive and thoughtful educational environment. Finally, our adjustment counselors and school nurse provide intervention and support to students as needed. Please let your child's teacher know if you have questions or concerns.
