• Interventions include math, English, social-emotional classes during the school day, and the Cub Academy, offered four days per week, which provides intervention/enrichment classes schoolwide.

• Highly successful push-in/co-teach collaborative teaching model is in place for special education students and all students in need of additional assistance in the core classrooms.

• School-wide PBIS program includes Tier I, II, and III interventions and provides for regular rewards and recognition.

• Spanish dual immersion program has been implemented to allow students to continue this program through high school.

• All core classes embed SDAIE methods, utilize Kagan strategies, and have common curriculum maps and/or pacing guides with common assessments.

• All English Learners have an adult advocate who monitors progress and meets with students to support their needs.

• Clifton participates in the Focused Schools Program to ensure that focus strategies are implemented and student goals are met.

• School focus areas include utilizing CUB Writing (creating a claim, using evidence, and backing it up) and three-level questioning to increase rigor across subject areas.

• “Jump Start” conferences are offered before school to help support potentially at-risk students.

• Successful Parent University nights are held five times per year to address topics of interest to the parent community and to assist them in supporting their students.
