Welcome to the
Learning Support Program!!
The West Mercer community is fortunate to have a
learning support program funded in part by the federal government
(Title 1 money) and funded in part by the state (Learning
Assistance program money). We assist students who are
struggling in reading, in Kinderarten through 5th grade. We
also help with basic math skills. We meet with students in
small groups for more personal attention.
On this website you will find links to reading
and math websites and hopefully other useful information.
