Congratulations 🎉

Montcalm Area ISD is incredibly proud to congratulate our school partners for their outstanding achievements in their Multi-Tiered Systems of Support. Known as MTSS, this framework supports consistent and effective instruction and builds upon a positive culture and learning environment for all students. Its implementation is a priority for the Michigan Department of Education. Congratulations to our local districts for their commitment to this process.
