For students who need extra help there are the following services available: At-Risk programming, Title 1 and

The Michigan Integrated Behavior and Learning Support Initiative, MiBLSi, is a state grant that has provided the Intermediate School with financial support and professional development. This grant comes from Michigan Department of Education. Additional information is available at the web site: http://www.cenmi.org/miblisi. The MiBLSi grant provided the opportunity for the staff
to catapult into the newest of innovations in the area of positive behavior support and academic excellence. The staff is highly trained in providing interventions in order to meet needs of the students. The training was focused in the areas of classroom management and developmentally appropriate strategies in academic and behavior instruction. The Intermediate School is a proud member of the MiBLSi consortium.
