The School makes its programs and services accessible to individuals with disabilities. The School welcomes all requests for reasonable accommodations and will attempt to provide them to qualified students with learning differences or physical disabilities, to the extent that such requests do not cause a fundamental alteration to the School’s programs and to the extent that they do not create an undue hardship.
The first step in requesting an accommodation for a student identified as having a disability is to provide the School with documentation of the condition from a qualified professional, such as a physician, psychiatrist, or psychologist. Parents must submit in writing a current complete evaluation administered by a qualified professional. A written evaluation report must be no more than three years old. Evaluation results are confidential and are maintained separately from the student’s permanent record.
With a current psychological evaluation on file, the School will be able to extend accommodations it deems as reasonable and appropriate for our school setting. Substantial curriculum changes are not reasonable within the NBPS program.
It is essential that parents notify the School of any special circumstances, such as hearing and sight limitations, special medication, or other situations unique to their child. It is the responsibility of the parent to notify the School, in writing, of any conditions that are dangerous to the well-being of the child.
