Here at Nelson, we work with many students.
Some of the supports we offer that have been helpful are:
Room 113 is open before and after school, as well as at lunch for students who would like a quiet place to work, or just relax.
Staff are available at those times to provide assistance with schoolwork and organization.
In collaboration with the Co-op program, we try to provide opportunities for students to gain work and volunteer experience to build towards independent living and working.
Our Learning Skills classes run every period of the day and may be taken each year, if it is deemed necessary.
The Learning Services office, and a few other spaces in the school are available on a drop-in basis for students who need a break from the classroom.
