Support for Identified Students
Support for Identified Students
Once a student has been identified as exceptional at an IPRC (Individual Placement and Review Committee), an IEP (Individual Education Plan) is written and shared with the student, their parents, and teachers. In order to help students meet the expectations of the Ontario secondary school curriculum, the Peel District School Board offers two levels of special education support.
Types of Learning Support: Levels 1 and 2
Types of Learning Support: Levels 1 and 2
With Learning Support Level 2 (LS2), your child will be assigned a Special Education teacher who will monitor their progress throughout the semester. The monitor teacher will meet with your child or child's teachers on a pre-arranged basis (bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed).
Direct Support may include:
a conference with the student in person or by email (e.g. course updates, goal setting, capacity building, etc)
Indirect Support may include:
resources for the student through Google Classroom or this website
review of report card (e.g. progress report, midterm report, semester 1 final report)
a conference with the classroom teachers, guidance counselor, or parent
With Learning Support Level 1 (LS1), your child will see their Special Education teacher on a daily basis for 1 semester through a Learning Strategies course (GLE) and also monitor support (LS2) in the semester without their learning strategies course (GLE).
Parent/Caregiver Input Form for IEPs
Parent/Caregiver Input Form for IEPs
Parents/Caregivers are members of the IEP team, so their input is valuable when an IEP is developed and updated.
Parent/caregiver input forms are sent home during the first week of each semester for students with LS1 and LS2 support. If you haven't received it, download a copy or pick one up from room 203.

All too often, Assistive Technology (AT) is provided as a solution or accommodation to learning challenges. However, not often enough are students provided ample opportunity to become proficient with the tool before being expected to produce academic assignments.
In this webinar, we will be exploring how you can support your child or student in learning to use Assistive Technology, so that they can be successful in gaining independence in distance learning and beyond! Both teachers and parents are encouraged to attend.
This webinar will focus on skill development with the following technology:

Participants, between the ages of 6 and 17 years, will be grouped by age in four different groups.
The groups meet once a month and are led by trained and experienced Program Facilitators.
