Welcome to Intervention Class!

1. Welcome to Intervention Class!

2. What Is Intervention? • Everybody in the building is in some form of Intervention! • Most students this year will be focused in one area (like Reading or Math). • Interventions are held in ALL class periods! • These classes are mixed grade classes (6th, 7th, and 8th). THIS DOES NOT MATTER. You will be working on the skills YOU need to work on in class.
