St. Joseph’s School offers learning support and enrichment opportunities for students needing extra help or added challenges. Our staff includes dedicated Learning Specialists who work closely with classroom teachers, parents and administrators in addressing each student’s individual needs. Together, this team determines appropriate accommodations and modifications to the curriculum to best guide each student toward success.
Students in grades 6 - 8, benefit from classroom support by our Learning Specialist in all subject areas. Individual and small group instruction/support is offered during WIN Time (study hall).
Students who are high achievers, creative thinkers and/or gifted learners, benefit from enriching and challenging activities and opportunities. We are committed to providing opportunities designed to enrich, sustain, engage, challenge and ensure these students’ continued growth.
Classroom teachers utilize differentiation of instruction, flexible grouping, opportunities for advanced or challenging projects, supplemental materials and outside resources to meet the needs of their high potential students.
Our Learning Specialists work closely with Independent District #197 personnel to ensure qualified students receive the appropriate special education services entitled to them by law. One of St. Joseph's School's Learning Specialists attends all District #197 meetings and serves as the liason between the district, school, and parents.
