Student services and support at our school are designed to advance our mission by nurturing the whole child within an inclusive, relationship-centered community. We view support services as a shared responsibility among teachers, administrators, families, and outside partners, ensuring students are known well and cared for academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. Through proactive communication, goal-setting conferences, classroom-based observations, and ongoing progress monitoring, we identify strengths and needs early and respond with developmentally appropriate strategies that help students build confidence, resilience, and independence. When additional expertise is needed, we collaborate with families and trusted specialists to connect students with targeted services and resources, strengthening both access and continuity of care. This network of supports and partnerships reinforces our commitment to empowering students as thoughtful problem solvers and engaged community members while ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Small class sizes allow teachers to know students deeply and respond to their strengths, needs, and interests in a timely way. With more opportunities for individual attention and meaningful interaction, students receive the academic and social-emotional support they need to grow confidently while also contributing to a strong, inclusive classroom community. Our student to teacher ratios are small, giving each student the time and attention they need to be known and attended to.
Teachers differentiate instruction to ensure all students are appropriately challenged and supported. Through flexible grouping, varied entry points, scaffolded tasks, and multiple ways to demonstrate understanding, students can access grade-level learning while building skills, independence, and confidence as thinkers and problem solvers.
Co-teachers strengthen learning by increasing adult support within the classroom and allowing instruction to be more responsive and targeted. This team approach supports small-group instruction, individualized feedback, and smoother classroom routines, helping students feel seen, supported, and successful across academic and social-emotional expectations. Our early education classrooms have 2 co-teachers and our elementary classrooms have 1 co-teacher.
Regular conferences and consistent communication strengthen the partnership between school and home. Through goal-setting meetings, ongoing updates, and open dialogue, families stay informed about progress and can work collaboratively with teachers to support student growth, reinforce expectations, and celebrate achievements.
Progress monitoring is ongoing and guides instructional decisions throughout the year. Teachers use observations, student work, skills-based checks, and other assessments to identify growth trends, adjust instruction, and provide timely support. This ensures students receive the right interventions or extensions at the right time and continue making steady progress toward learning goals.
To support students' communication and language development, our school partners with Greenbrier County Schools to provide access to speech services when needed. Through collaboration between families, teachers, and service providers, students receive appropriate support that strengthens articulation, language skills, and overall confidence—helping them fully participate in learning and in our relationship-centered school community.
We expand academic support opportunities through partnerships that offer free after-school tutoring with volunteers from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and the Greenbrier East High School National Honor Society. These tutoring sessions provide students with additional time, encouragement, and targeted help, while reinforcing positive relationships, perseverance, and confidence. This community collaboration reflects our commitment to nurturing the whole child and supporting students as they grow into independent, capable learners.
