Ogdensburg CSD is deeply committed to the success of every student, recognizing that each individual’s journey is unique. To that end, we implement a comprehensive range of measures and programs designed to support and foster individual student success, ensuring all learners have the resources and opportunities to thrive.
Specialists
The Ogdensburg City School District offers a number of excellent programs for students who would perform better in a small group setting.
Remediation in Reading, Writing and Mathematics
The Federally funded Title I Program offers remediation in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics. Eligible students are scheduled to meet with the Title I teachers for a minimum of 90 minutes per cycle.
Resource Room Program
The district also provides a comprehensive Resource Room Program for K-12. This program offers learning impaired students as well as other special needs students an opportunity to develop academic and social skills, while receiving academic support to provide success within the regular educational setting. Resource room teachers work closely with classroom teachers and parents to allow for open lines of communication.
School Psychologists
There are school psychologists serving our student population. The psychologist is available to conduct testing and provide the faculty and parents with educational evaluations of referred students. If parents have special concerns about their children, the psychologist can be available for consultation. Please contact the psychologist through the building principal.
Speech Therapist
The speech therapist is considered an important part of the educational team and process. The main goal is to increase the student’s power to communicate. This includes diagnosis and evaluation of each child’s speech and language development.
Student Study Team (SST)
At each elementary building, a team of support personnel meet on a regular basis to discuss specific student needs as determined by a referral through the child’s teacher and/or the parent/guardian.
The SST strives to provide both parents and teachers with suggestions on how to best handle specific areas of difficulty. In some cases, referrals to service agencies or to the C.S.E. (Committee on Special Education) are recommended. The parent/guardian is always involved in this referral process and is part of all decision-making.
For additional information about the Student Study Team, please contact your principal.
AIS/RTI Intervention Plan K-12
The Ogdensburg City School District AIS/RTI Plan outlines the district’s framework for identifying, supporting, and monitoring students at academic or behavioral risk through a multi-tiered system of interventions and services aligned with New York State requirements.
