Response to Intervention
Response to Intervention refers to a process which emphasizes
how well students respond to specific teaching strategies and
subsequent redirection of instruction. Targeted services and
multi-leveled interventions are implemented early and regularly
to help students make progress. The RtI approach eliminates a
“wait-to-fail” situation because students receive assistance
promptly within the general education setting.
Preliminary plans are in place for Willow Hill Elementary to
introduce the Response to Intervention Program beginning January
2009. Additional information is forthcoming.

to report his/her absence. Please call the child check number

The office clerk
will compare the attendance list of each class with the names on
the tape. This is to confirm that all children who have left
their homes have arrived safely to school. When a child is
absent and we have not been notified via the Child-Check
voicemail, the clerk will contact parents, guardians, or other
emergency contacts. If we are unable to contact anyone, the
Abington police will be notified. Please keep the office
updated on any changes in your telephone numbers throughout the
