Pioneer Students On TRAC

This year Pioneer Middle School developed a new program Taking Responsibility for Academic Commitment or TRAC to help students become
more accountable for their education and to help them improve their organizational skills.

Counselor David Tegtmeier said this program is a component of the district’s Response toIntervention (RTI) model and is considered a Tier
Two intervention.

Students who are missing three or more unexcused assignments in a core subject, or who are failing at the mid-term grading period in a core subject, are placed on an academic improvement plan.
A conference with teachers, parents and the student is then scheduled to discuss an appropriate improvement plan.

Students who are placed in the TRAC program meet four days a week after school to continue developing their academic skills. Students reported to school board members the program is helping them improve their academic performance and become more organized.
