Defining MTSS

• MTSS is a Multi-Tiered System of Supports which provides instruction and support to promote the academic and behavioral success of each student.
• Part of this process involves identifying students’ needs and providing them with appropriate academic and behavioral intervention and support.

 The CHS MTSS mission

WE hold high expectations for academic achievement and behavior for each student. We provide support to help students persevere, actively learn, build healthy relationships, and make positive choices.
