Dr. Rieger hosted the first session of our "Coffee with the Principal" series. Held right after morning drop off, this is a chance for parents to learn details about important school topics and share their input. Dr. Rieger presents on a particular subject, then fields questions from the attendees. This month, Dr. Rieger spoke about the St. Viator RTI (Response to Intervention) Team, giving parents an overview of the Student Support Services provided for students at St. Viator Elementary School.
Dr. Rieger explained the different support services in place at St. Viator, from educational to social-emotional. We currently have an IEP Coordinator, a Title 1 Support Teacher, Catapult Learning Teacher, Reading Specialist, a School Counselor, and an Executive Function Coach in place at the school!
Dr. Rieger explained how teacher referrals and parent outreach start the process of connecting students to services. She also detailed how St. Viator works with outside providers to bring additional support services into the school. Her emphasis was on St. Viator's ability to connect students with services, and a willingness to engage with the challenging connections. Ultimately, the idea is to meet all of St. Viator students where they are learning, and support their school experience as needed:
We believe in developing the mind, body, and soul.
The parent attendees followed along with the presentation, enjoying some coffee and a donut (it was an early meeting, after all!). The Q & A session was great, with parents asking follow-up questions and sharing their personal experiences. The conversation went well, and we had time to address additional topics that concerned parents.
If you have questions about Support Services at St. Viator Elementary School, please reach out to Paul Bangiola, our Curriculum Director, or to our Main Office at (773) 545-2173. Dr. Rieger plans to host "Coffee with the Principal" on the 3rd Friday of the month to continue our community conversation around the issues that impact St. Viator Elementary School. Be sure to watch for October's date and topic!
We are Peace Builders; We are Eagles; We are St. Viator!
