LIBRARY / MEDIA CENTER
Enfield’ s elementary library program offers a variety of current print and non-print materials which support and enrich the curriculum. There is unified curriculum in library skills for students from kindergarten through Grade 5. An appreciation and awareness of the world of literature is encouraged.
Classes visit the library every other week, and materials may be checked out at any time. Volunteers are an active and welcome part of the program. Please contact your building library aide if you would like to volunteer.

MULTI-TIRED SYSTEMS SUPPORTS( MTSS)
The Connecticut State Department of Education views the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support( MTSS) as a crucial framework for enhancing the implementation of evidence-based interventions to improve academic and social-emotional outcomes for all students. MTSS originated in other three-tiered approaches to supporting students, including Scientifically Researched-Based Intervention( SRBI) and positive behavioral interventions and supports( PBIS). Educators are required to keep careful and ongoing documentation of the progress that students make in reading, writing, and math. Schools will then use this data to determine the most appropriate support for each student, including special education services.
Enfield Public Schools has put into place an academic prevention model that provides extra support in reading and math for students whenever a need is discovered during the school year. The interventions that are provided in reading and math have been researched and shown to be effective in helping most students learn specific skills and demonstrate academic progress.
This instruction may be provided by a member of our certified staff including the classroom teacher, Language Arts and Math Consultants, or Pupil Services staff including Resource Room Teachers or Speech and Language Pathologists. In some cases, this support may also be provided by a paraprofessional or tutor under the direct supervision of a certified teacher.
This support is provided through small groups in addition to the regular language arts or math period in order to give students extra instruction and practice in the targeted skills that may be difficult for them.
