Fall River’s continuous goal is to see students progress academically, psychologically and socially.
To meet these goals, we have:
- An Accountability Team of both staff and parents meets to review data to maintain a high level of accountability over the program for learning.
- Professional Learning Community meets weekly in grade level teams to plan for differentiated instruction and monthly as a whole school for data-driven dialogue.
- The latest in technology upgrades throughout the school have enhanced the learning process.
- RtI/MTSS meets students intervention needs by providing early academic assistance. All students access interventions and enrichment daily through Intervention/Enrichment time and flexible reading groups.
- A school-wide Positive Behavior System called ROCKS emphasizes responsibility and supports students in making positive academic and behavioral choices.
