Learning Supports

At the Cree School Board, we offer support to help each student reach their potential. 

School-age Program

We offer before and after school care, as well as lunchtime programming, for students ages five to 12, in some communities.  Students are cared for under the supervision of an educator in a clean, monitored educational environment. 

Currently the School-age Program is offered in five communities:  Whapmagoostui, Chisasibi, Waskaganish, Mistissini, and Waswanipi.

Response to Intervention (RTI)

RTI (Response to Intervention) is a collaborative multi-tiered support process that offers high quality classroom instruction combined with targeted intervention. The RTI professionals work together with administrators and teachers to develop RTI sequences of learning.

The RTI sequences target grade level essential literacy skills in Cree, English, and French. The goal of the RTI process is to ensure that all students are given the opportunity and support needed to attain grade level literacy competency.
