Special Education

Our Special Education Division works with students who receive additional funding to help build specialized programs to aid in their success as learners. As well, we have created a Learning Services (LS) Program for students who would benefit from specialized planning and, where possible, some additional funding, but are not designated Special Education Students.

Learning Services Program

Some students may have learning challenges that are outside of Special Education designations. These include challenges such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, speech problems,difficulties, giftedness, and written output delays. If you suspect your child would benefit from extra help and are seeking advice with regard to their learning, please contact your support teacher with your concerns. The support teacher will then contact our Learning Services (LS) department to discuss how best to offer support.

Individual Education Plan

An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is put together in addition to a Student Learning Plan (SLP - all students receive one of these) for students in our SE Division and some LS students. All qualifying Special Education students are on an IEP, which explains how the regular education program will be adapted to help students succeed. Teachers work closely with the parent and other support team members to write the IEP.
