Tier 3: Intensive Intervention
Tier 3 Interventions provide intensive support to students missing the most school, often involving not just schools but other agencies such as health, housing and social services, and typically requiring case management customized to individual students’ challenges. Students missing 20% or more of the school year benefit from the addition of this intensive level of support. Strategies to use in Tier 3 may include: Re-Entry Strategies; Specialized supports; Home visits; Mentor daily check–in with student and Notifications of consequences for future absences.
Strategies for Schools
- Individualized Support like a mentoring or check-in, check-out plan.
- Interagency case management to help families get what they need.

Strategies for Families
Tier 3 strategies start with a discussion between parents or caregivers that leads to an agreed upon plan between parents and staff. The Plan should include a timetable for actions each will take to reduce chronic absence.
My Child's Success Plan can help document the results of a discussion and capture the commitments both parents and the preschool program have made.
