SST meetings are designed to assist struggling students with strategies that may help improve their academic performance. These meetings are typically held either before and after school and include the child's school counselor, administrator, teachers, parents and most importantly, the student. Teachers provide input on student progress and suggest ways for students to become more successful. The information and action plan is typed up and provided to families after the meeting. We suggest placing this action plan in a place where it will be seen frequently by both the student and parents.  This helps students remain focused on the strategies that were recommended.  After having implemented all of the strategies on the action plan, if improvement is not noticed in 6-8 weeks, we recommend contacting adminsitration or the school counselor again to set up a second SST meeting.
