We have a 30-minute resource period at the end of the day for all Middle school students that we refer to as "MSR".  The purpose of MSR is for students to get the academic help that they need, and those needs are not the same for all students. 

We employ an online program called IXL to monitor our Middle School students' progress in ELA and Math.  We divide all students into 3 tiers during MSR.  Students in Tier 3 work in the IXL program on skills that the program identifies as an area of need for each student.  Students in Tier 2 have grades that show they are struggling in certain classes.  Students in Tier 2 are given extra time to get caught up in those classes and hopefully raise their grade.  Students earn their way into Tier 1 by maintaining C's or better in all of their classes.  Students in Tier 1 have also obtained IXL scores that are at or above grade level benchmarks. 

Grade reports are run each week and IXL benchmarks are reviewed to gauge student progress.  Tier rosters are updated each week to reflect progress or movement that should take place within the tiers.
