What is the Student Success Team (SST)?
The Student Success Team is a group of people
at the school who utilize a problem-solving approach in an attempt to
help students to be more successful in school, at home, and in the community.
The SST often includes the family, classroom teacher and principal. Others
who may know the student who can support the team, such as the student
advisor, resource teacher, speech and language specialist, school psychologist
or mental health specialist, may also be present.

Your involvement in the SST process is very important because you know your child better than anyone else. Your knowledge of your child's strengths, interests, health, past history, etc., can be very valuable for the SST to develop an effective program for your child.
One priority of the SST is to help the family feel welcome. You will be invited to give your thoughts within the first few minutes of the meeting.
How Can A Family Member Start The SST Process?
You can begin the SST process for your child by contacting your child's teacher, the principal, or the student advisor, or simply by calling the school office and asking how you can set up an SST meeting for your child.
