Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy whole-child approach
Every student has individual needs that affect how they learn. We want to meet these needs as best as we can and welcome your child at our school.
What we do
Learning Support
Learning support is for eligible students with learning support needs whether mild or moderate learning support. Parents will provide a psychoeducational evaluation indicating areas of eligibility and the Learning Support teacher will create an individual learning plan based on the results of the evaluation or an Inclusive Access Arrangements based on medical or psychological documentation.
We help students succeed within the regular education classes by using co-teaching and/or pull-out for individual or in small group instruction.
Speech and Language Therapy
Speech and Language Therapy
We provide one-to-one speech therapy at an extra charge for those of our students who may have communication disorders. Our sessions revolve around speech and language assessment as well as classroom- and home-based intervention and activities.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy
We offer one-on-one occupational therapy sessions for an extra charge for our students who need support with
- developing social sensitivity necessary to forming and sustaining social interaction and relationships with peers
- handwriting/fine motor skills or visual-perception skills so the child can complete written assignments
- organizing in the environment to maximize classroom participation and educational experiences
We work with teachers to adapt learning materials to facilitate successful participation. We address sensory issues by finding strategies to keep the child’s arousal level functional during school and/or making changes to the classroom environment to allow for sensory needs of the child.
Counseling
Counseling
Our counselors address students’ social and emotional issues such as behavior management, self-confidence, stress management, substance abuse, depression, suicide, and grieving process.
We work with students through observations and consulting, by making assessments and referral, and by planning their programs. Our counselors also offer support to teachers in identifying learning needs, making referrals and program planning.
School Health Nurse
School Health Nurse
Our nurse provides health education in the classrooms and informs students and parents on how to recognize early signs of illness, developmental problems, and children who are not thriving. She also helps with individualized plans and cares for children who have identified health concerns.
