Student Support Program

About the Student Support Program

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School has a designated student support team that partners with our educators, auxiliary teachers, administrators, and families to provide scaffolding and support services that promote student achievement and success. The Student Support Team acknowledges and appreciates our students' unique and varied learning profiles, including individual strengths and challenges. The Student Support Team inspires heart, mind, and spirit education through Christ's love with prayer, peace, and perseverance.

The student support program partners with parents of current students who hold an IEP, 504 plan, Private Evaluation, or Medical Diagnosis to create an Individual Learning Plan. The ILP is established in the first trimester of each school year to connect families, students, teachers, and support staff through meetings, consultation, and intervention, building appropriate support to guide learners on their journey of progress and success here at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic School.

Some students have been GATE identified while attending Saint Francis of Assisi or fall within three additional learner profiles: accelerated learner, high achiever, and twice exceptional. The Student Support Team meets with teachers weekly to support their learner community by providing consultation, materials, or push-in intervention to support their differentiated instructional practices and the development of project-based learning.
