Absence Due to Illness

Please call the school attendance line at your student’s school by 9 a.m. every day that your student will not be in school. This line is a recorded message that you can call anytime, 24 hours a day, at 507.663.0655.
Students who arrive after the beginning of the school day are to check in with the office before reporting to their classroom.

Procedures

Students who are ill are to check in with the school nurse before calling parents to go home. Parents should sign their student out in the attendance office before leaving unless other arrangements have been made with staff.

Please report communicable diseases and head lice to the school nurse. Students who are expected to miss several days due to health reasons, please contact the nurse or the main office, as special arrangements can be made.

For more detailed health services and/or forms provided by our school nurse, please visit our Health Services page.

Response to Intervention is a multi-level framework that integrates instruction, assessment, and intervention within a schoolwide prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior problems.

Through school-wide screening, students who need a targeted or intensive approach to learn are identified. Interventions are implemented, progress is monitored and data-based decision making occurs to determine the next steps for each student.

For information on special education programming, please visit the Special Services department.

Multi-Tiered System of Supports

The Will Program offers a supportive learning environment to encourage success. The Will Program operates as a structured study center where students have access to a classroom teacher and two educational assistants along with class sizes of no more than 10 students. This support will occur instead of a traditional study hall. It is an intensive support program that will combine the following:

• Academic Advising
• Goal Setting and Monitoring
• Academic interventions based upon individual need
• Weekly lessons focused on supporting essential skills
• SEL skills and tools

Tutoring Hotline is a volunteer program that matches Carleton volunteers with Rice County students of all ages in need of free, one-on-one academic assistance in any subject. Our program supports students who already have a set curriculum; our tutors are not equipped to assign new content. Approved tutors sign up for specific tutoring requests depending on their academic interests and availability and will meet with students for about one hour, once a week in a public location or via Zoom. Tutoring sessions are individualized to the student’s needs and may include a review of concepts learned in school, preparation for upcoming tests, help with homework, etc. For more information, you can contact your student’s counselor or link on this link.

Life can be overwhelming, anxiety-inducing, and stressful. The Virtual Calming Room uses several relaxation techniques to provide healthy outlets for stressful times. This Virtual Calming Room was inspired by School Counselors and School Social Workers across the United States to help students locate tools and strategies to positively manage their emotions.
