Congratulations to Downsville Elementary for your efforts in implementing a culturally responsive multi-level system of support! Creating a system to meet the needs of ALL students is rewarding work that takes the determination of many.

Downsville Elementary is being recognized by the Wisconsin RtI Center and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for your implementation in the following area(s):
 Silver Level: Behavior
 Bronze Level: Reading

Funded by the Wisconsin DPI, the Wisconsin RtI Center supports schools and districts by providing statewide training and technical assistance. Our mission is to help schools and districts create equitable, responsive systems for all students.

The center’s new Recognized Schools Program celebrates school progress in expanding, refining, and sustaining implementation of a culturally responsive multi-level system of support for improved student outcomes. Schools are recognized at the bronze, silver, gold, or platinum level in the content areas of reading, mathematics, and behavior. Levels indicate the following work progress:

 Bronze: At full implementation/fidelity in one content area at the universal level/tier 1 for at least one year
 Silver: At full implementation/fidelity in one content area at the universal level/tier 1 for at least two years and at selected level/tier 2 for at least one year

 Platinum: At full implementation/fidelity in all three content areas, at all three levels, and for at least three years with evidence of improved student outcomes and more equitable systems
The work you have done lays a solid foundation for the future expansion and refinement of your culturally responsive multi-level system of support.

Downsville Elementary will receive an awards package as recognition for your efforts. In addition to this letter, items include a digital website badge, mention on the Wisconsin RtI Center’s website, and a media kit to assist you in sharing these accomplishments with a variety of stakeholders.
