Our Four Winds High School staff and consultants are wrapping up their time at the ND MTSS Conference. Throughout the conference, they attended sessions focused on leadership, data, literacy routines, progress monitoring, taking action with data, and connecting MTSS to IEPs and more.

A couple of our staff members also had the honor of being part of a Q&A panel, where they were able to share some of the great things happening at Four Winds High School.

Staff also took advantage of being together by holding an MTSS work night/meeting to continue planning, reflecting, and strengthening our systems for students.

Summer break doesn’t stop our amazing staff!
