Students with Extra Support Needs

 Saint Agnes School is committed to inclusive education and offers the following special education services:

·        Interventions (academic and behavioral supports with 1:1 intervention instruction)

·        Speech Screening & Therapy  (SLP on site and/or through Kenton County School District)

. Occupational Therapy (Therapist on site)

·       Personal Counseling (through Catholic Charities site-based school counseling program)

Saint Agnes School recognizes that inclusion is a process. It involves the ability to communicate with a group of learners with diverse needs. Inclusion is a philosophy of teaching that relies on the abilities of educators to promote an environment that respects and reverences the rights of all students to learn in regular education classrooms in Catholic schools.

Children with exceptional needs requiring special modifications or accommodations will be included in the educational program of Saint Agnes School unless it is determined, after a thorough review as outlined in Diocesan guideline G6510, that their needs cannot be adequately met. 

• While Saint Agnes School does have an academic support program that assists in implementing curriculum accommodations and modifications, resources for some disabilities may be limited. The individual student’s learning needs will dictate the school’s decision to grant admission. Preference will be given to parish children with exceptional learning needs. 

• Initial enrollment can be granted on a tentative basis with the understanding that in the event the exceptional needs of the child cannot be reasonably accommodated by the school, the custodial parents or guardians will agree to enroll their child in another school system which can accommodate the special needs of exceptional children.
