Dear Parent or Guardian, 

Each year the Tennessee Department of Education examines schools’ performance across several different indicators to provide an overall look at how schools are serving the needs of all students. The department of education included the following indicators in its analysis of school accountability: 

More information on each of these indicators and the data used to define them can be found on the Tennessee Department of Education’s Accountability Protocol webpage.  Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the department is required to use the school accountability results to identify those schools with the lowest performance and the lowest performance across student groups (e.g., individual racial/ethnic student groups, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged, and English learners). These schools will receive additional supports from the department. 

We are writing to inform you that Randolph Howell Elementary School was identified for Targeted Support and Intervention as required by ESSA and the U.S. Department of Education for the 2024-2025 school year. 

Our school is working hard with the district and the Tennessee Department of Education to increase student performance. We encourage you to help by participating in the development and implementation of our school improvement plan when we ask for your feedback.  

Sincerely, 

Marisa Massey 

Principal

Tennessee Tiered Supports Center (TSC) is proud to announce Randolph Howell Elementary STEM School has been selected as an RTI2-B Model of Demonstration School—Silver Level for 2021-2022. There are over 1,800 schools across the state of Tennessee and each year a small percentage of schools meet criteria to be selected as an RTI2-B Model of Demonstration School.

Randolph Howell Elementary STEM School has been a participant in training and technical assistance and has undergone the process of implementing a positive and proactive behavioral systems framework for all students. The RTI2-B framework consists of identifying common behavioral expectations across campus, teaching, re-teaching, reinforcing, and regularly acknowledging students, faculty, and families for exhibiting these expectations. Randolph Howell Elementary STEM School has applied this framework to improve their school climate and culture, student engagement, and school connectedness. In meeting this award criteria, Randolph Howell Elementary STEM School demonstrated use of school-wide behavioral data to inform teaching practices and levels of support provided to students based on need. Twice a year, they also reflected on overall fidelity to guide their implementation of the RTI2-B framework.

As an RTI2-B Model of Demonstration School—Silver Level for 2021-2022, Randolph Howell Elementary STEM School can now serve as a RTI2-B mentor to other schools across Tennessee.

RTI2-B training, technical assistance, and supports were provided to schools by Tennessee TSC (formerly Tennessee Behavior Supports Project), a technical assistance center funded under a Grant Contract with the State of Tennessee.
