Date_____________________________ 

Dear Parent(s),

Your child _______________________has been referred to administration based on his/her classroom performance and/or screening test scores as a candidate for Academic Intervention Services (AIS). Our Instructional Support Team (IST)  will meet to discuss your child’s specific classroom needs - IST members include administration, teachers, a school psychologist, a school counselor, and other personnel. AIS will be offered as a pull-out from the regular class instruction during the last period of the school day either once or twice a week as necessary. This is a very flexible program - it is not supplied by the Manhasset Public School District - so adjustments can be made immediately with your permission. 

AIS can include a wide range of instructional support including re-teaching and reviewing of concepts, as well as utilizing supplementary resources for applying learned concepts and skills. Resources are supplied by the school and our AIS teacher will be working closely with the classroom teachers to best serve your child.  If a student is receiving the service, it is not indicated on the report card. St. Mary’s is very happy to be able to offer this service to support its students.  
Best regards, 

Ms.  Theresa Kemp, Principal
