REDMOND, OR -- Like districts across the country, Redmond Schools continue to tackle ‘unfinished learning’ or learning lost to the pandemic. The district has seen success with its ‘Response To Intervention’ program.

“That system is more individual-based. They focus on one grade level per week, and they have this team of multi-disciplinary experts from the school district who come in, and that could be teachers, principals and counselors, and they kind of get this holistic view of all the things that a student might be dealing with,” says Redmond School’s Holly Brown, “Then they can really take a look at what might be affecting that student in school and out of school, and then they work with that student’s family really closely to try to come up with a plan of how can we get them up to where we kind of expect them to be amongst their peers. They have a lot more resources now that are interactive, and they can use online and textbook resources. We try to keep things interesting in the schools for the students.”

Students can also receive aid from a Family Access Network advocate.
