Assist

The Everitt ASSIST team will provide prevention and intervention programs for all students, particularly those at risk, using a well-designed process and set of procedures.  The focus is on identifying students who may be experiencing difficulties with basic life skills, learning skills, social interaction, self-concept, communication skills, decision-making and identity issues.  Also, students whose families are going through crisis might be referred for help and support.  Strategies include individual, group, classroom and grade level participation.  ASSIST provides a system in which students, staff and parents will attempt to supply what is needed for each student to grow into a happy, healthy and productive citizen.

ASSIST team membership consists of the guidance counselor, the reading specialist, a primary teacher, an intermediate teacher and an administrator.
