What is AIS?

AIS means Academic Intervention Services.  These services are provided to 
all students based on test scores, teacher referrals, and individual needs. 
Our goal is for all students to score at atleast a proficient level(3) in 
English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.  Please 
visit the NYS Testing website listed in my links for more information.

What services are provided?

The AIS teacher works in collaboration with the regular classroom teachers.  
Lessons vary depending on the needs of individual students and classroom 
schedules.  Students may work in small groups in the AIS classroom, or with 
the AIS teacher in their regular classroom.  The teacher meets with students 
at least three times for 30 minutes in a six-day cycle.
