SJHS Blog RTI – (Response to Intervention) Parents, we are excited to let you know that we have been working since last spring to bring RTI to SJHS.   You may be asking what is RTI?   RTI is a way for us to build time into the school day to assist students who may be struggling with specific areas of the content.   Teachers have been working hard in PLC late start days to develop RTI sessions they will be offering to students.   Please note, we will not only be running intervention sessions during this time but we will also be offering enrichment and extension activities as well for students who may not be needing intervention.   Our goal is to implement and offer a 30-minute RTI session next Thurs.
