To support learning at the Frederick Harris School, we utilize a comprehensive student support system to ensure that every student receives the supports, services and resources she/he needs to be academically successful and healthy.
Our school’s student support program is facilitated by City Connects, a partnership among Springfield Public Schools, Boston College and community agencies.
Our student support process is coordinated by two full-time City Connects Coordinators, Ms. Otero (PK-2) and Ms. Giannetti (3-5).
The purpose of our student support process is to ensure that each student has the supports she/he needs to successfully engage in classroom instruction. To do this, we assess the strengths and needs of each child in the school and connect each student to the tailored set of prevention, intervention, and enrichment services s/he needs to thrive.
