Program For Students With Disabilities (PSD)- Primary and Secondary
We provide an inclusive education system that ensures all students have access to a quality education that meets their diverse needs and we are compliant with the requirements of the PSD funding in regard to access and equity for our PSD students.
We have an experienced team of Integration Aides who are in class to support students who receive funding under the PSD program. The Integration Aides are in class under the direction of the classroom teacher to support the learning of the student and to assist other students where practicable.
Each PSD student will have goals set by the class teacher and documented in an Individual Education Plan each term. Meeting will be coordinated on a termly basis to discuss new goals and strategies for each student.
