Staff September Spotlight: Meet Ms. Kate and Ms. Lucy!

Ms. Kate and Ms. Lucy are Banner Lake Academy's academic specialists, working behind the scenes to help students, teachers, and families succeed. They support student learning by providing extra help and specialized instruction to students who need it, and they monitor progress using assessments and data to identify each child's strengths, needs, and growth. They also work with teachers and specialists to make sure students with IEPs and 504 Plans receive the support and accommodations they need.

Along with supporting students directly, Ms. Kate and Ms. Lucy support teachers through coaching, modeling, and instructional resources. They coordinate academic interventions by organizing RTI meetings and intervention plans, and they promote a love of reading through programs like the Little Library and Book Buddies. Their goal is to work together with teachers and families to help every student learn, grow, and succeed.
