Basic Skills

Ms. Helmsetter

Ms. Compitello

The Basic Skills Instruction (BSI) program remediates and supports literacy and mathematics at all grade levels.  Some factors that would make your child eligible for BSI are data from standardized testing, as well as results collected from F&P and/or LLI screening.  Additional data is also considered for BSI selection, such as reading and math benchmark assessments, students’ grades, I & RS referral, and 504 plans. The BSI staff works cooperatively as an instructional team with the classroom teachers to help all students succeed.

Helpful Hints:

  • Read with your child daily.
  • Study basic math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) daily with your children.
  • Check homework daily.

We appreciate your support and cooperation.  Please contact us should you have any questions or concerns!
