4. Reintroduce PACK time into the bell schedule with specific intervention focuses by subject area.
   • Description of Action Step:
     • We will add intervention time back into the bell schedule by going back to having PACK time four days per week. There will be a specific focus each day:
       • Monday- Advisory and schoolwide expectations
       • Tuesday- Math interventions and extensions
       • Wednesday- English interventions and extensions
       • Thursday- Science interventions and extensions
       • Friday- early out day for PLC time (no PACK time)
     • PLCs will use formative assessment data to identify students in need of specific interventions, extensions, re-teaching, etc. They will fill out pack slips that the main office will deliver the morning of the associated day of the week. Those students will attend sessions with that content area’s teachers. The rest of the students throughout the building will be working on the mentor system and check ins. Special education students will be placed with their SPED teachers for services as needed, and MLs will be placed with their ELD teachers as needed.
