Tier 3 – Individualized Supports
Some students benefit from highly individualized services designed to address more intensive academic, behavioral, attendance, or social-emotional needs.
Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP)
Through our partnership with the North Cook Intermediate Service Center, Student Advocates provide intensive individualized support for students requiring additional interventions beyond school-based supports.
Services may include:
- Academic coaching
- Attendance support
- Behavioral intervention
- Counseling
- Coping skill instruction
- Goal setting
- Progress monitoring
- Family collaboration
Each student participates through an individualized Student Success Plan (SSP) designed to meet their unique needs.
Student Support Specialists
Student Support Specialists are certified therapeutic professionals who serve as an additional layer of support within the Student Services Department, particularly for students experiencing crisis or requiring individualized support.
Although they play a significant role within our Tier 3 supports, they are available to assist any student who needs guidance, crisis support, conflict resolution, or help connecting with additional resources.These individuals also work closely with families of students on homebound or hospitalization.
Whether students need assistance navigating a difficult situation or simply another trusted adult to talk with, Student Support Specialists are ready to help.
