Student Support

After-school Help

Several teachers offer academic help sessions for students for one hour after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is a good time to get homework help, review for upcoming assessments, seek guidance on major projects, and make up or re-take tests and quizzes.

Teacher Assistance Team (TAT)

The Teacher Assistance Team (TAT) is a collaborative group of specially-trained professionals who meet formally and systematically to support teachers as they support students. The purpose of the TAT is to meet with a teacher to consider a student’s learning challenges at both ends of the learning continuum, and to assist the teacher with strategies and interventions that can be used to aid the student. This is usually the first step to helping students to achieve at their maximum potential.

Reading/Resource Teacher

Holy Trinity Catholic School is blessed to employ the services of a specialized teacher for reading support and learning and behavioral interventions. This teacher’s primary goal is to have all students reading fluently, confidently, and with good comprehension by the end of 3rd grade.

Social Worker

Through Catholic Charities—Diocese of Joliet, the school contracts the services of a School Counselor/Social Worker. These social services include individual and group counseling, conflict resolution, organizational skills building, and parent education services. Students can self-refer for these services or can be referred by a teacher, administrator, or parent/guardian.
