*Support strong Family/Community involvement by forging deep connections with our families, school, and service providers, maintaining regular communication, making home visits and welcoming them into the school.
*Define and Structure Success, by establishing clear classroom management and learning processes so students understand what is expected of them and become more independent academically and organizationally.
