Individualized Learning

Consultation services and academic screening are offered to kindergarten – 5th grade students who encounter academic difficulties in core academic subjects or who may need assistance with speech or language skills.

Students may be recommended and considered for services following (1) the review of testing results completed by an educational psychologist, or (2) the review of four-to-six weeks of documented classroom differentiation and accommodation strategies.

Updated testing is required every three years.

Intensive instruction in reading comprehension, word decoding and written language is provided to students who have been identified for inclusion in the program.

Students identified for academic assistance are required to complete testing from an educational psychologist or medical professional to assess academic achievement and cognitive development during the 3rd grade year.

Third and fourth grade instruction emphasizes a strong grammar and written language component.

Instruction in learning strategies are incorporated into the language curriculum to provide students with tools for academic success and greater independence as they transition to Middle School.

The Elementary ILC coordinates a summer program designed to remediate academic deficits and enhance student performance for students referred by their teachers.

Middle and High School CAP is a resource for both the student and their teacher.

Psychoeducational testing is required and must be updated every three years to receive any classroom accommodations.

A student will receive an individualized educational plan. This plan is based on evaluations provided by professional psychologists, which are specific to each student’s needs. This plan is crafted by the collaboration of testing results with input from other academic support members such as principals, teachers, parents and students. Each teacher receives the plan and helps the student achieve their academic goals.
