Learning Supports

The School District of Milton provides several learning supports beyond the universal classroom environment that helps students reach proficiency, mastery or extension in their grade level standards. These supports are intended to be utilized prior to beginning official programming through Response to Intervention, EL, PRISM, or Special Education. Learning supports are available to all students and often specifically cater to the needs of individual students.

The elementary and intermediate schools have a designated block of time each day called “What I Need” (W.I.N.)

Students will be using Dreambox as a primary tool in mathematics and Guided Reading Instruction as a primary tool in reading.
