The High School Day Treatment program, located at Gateway, is for students with significant behavioral needs in grades in grades 9-12. Students are placed into this program based on a case conference decision. The program is highly structured and gives students behavioral support needed to make expected gains. The program is focused to provide instructional support for students to learn the behavior skills necessary and equip students for transition back to the high school, learn employment skills, or prepare for college. 

Students in 8th grade who participate in the MRAP program will discuss placement options, including if High School Day Treatment is an appropriate placement, during the 8th grade ACR.  

The criteria to participate in the High School Day Treatment program is based on a review of available data and an analysis to determine the student’s least restrictive environment (LRE). The placement decision needs to also include a review of the student’s needs, goals, services, supplementary aids, the BIP, and accommodations in place to support a student’s progress towards IEP goals.
