Providing Strategies for
supporting our students
The Independent Day School is committed to nurturing the whole child by providing academic and social-emotional support. The Student Support team, consisting of the Head of School, School Nurse, Wellness Counselor, Division Deans, and the Learning Center Director meets weekly to discuss any academic and social-emotional needs a student may have. They provide strategies and interventions that teachers can implement to address a student’s needs.
In addition, the Wellness Counselor meets with students individually or in small groups to provide wellness checks and social skills strategies. Home-school partnership is essential to a student’s success at IDS and we encourage this collaboration.
- For students who need additional academic support, the Learning Center provides direct instruction at an additional cost to families.
- Learning Center staff help classroom teachers assess the academic needs of their students. Depending on the results of those assessments, the Learning Center Director consults with the classroom teacher to provide in a variety of ways: in-class support, one-on-one, or small group.
