Haybaler Support Time

As a part of a school-wide effort to further our focus on learning, a period of intervention and extension is built into our school day. This period, known as “Haybaler Support Time,” is designed to provide timely and specific support to students who are working towards mastery of essential learning or are ready to be challenged with learning beyond essential standard expectations.

During the first two weeks of school and on some Mondays, students attend a Schoolwide Lessons that are designed to support them in their journey as a Haybaler. 

On Mondays when there is no Schoolwide Lesson, all Tuesdays, all Wednesdays, and all Fridays, students attend a class, referred to as “HST.” These are based on a need identified by a staff member, or a need that meets the student’s identity. 

The unique scheduling for HSTs is completed through the RTI Scheduler website. This video explains how students can schedule HSTs using RTI Scheduler. 

Each week, our teachers meet on Thursdays to create HSTs offered the following week as well as to identify students who may be in need of support. Students may start making selections for HSTs starting Thursday mornings because all the HSTs being offered the following week will be listed by then.
