What is Learning Support?
The Learning Support Program of Mecklenburg Area Catholic Schools is a regional program established in each of our eight schools. The Learning Support Program was created for the purpose of addressing the individual learning needs of our students. Each school has one or more Learning Support Teachers, who are specially trained in working with students having specific learning needs or differences. This group of professionals comprises the Learning Support Team. The Program strives to provide support on multiple levels: to the student, the teacher, and the parents.
Learning Support at St. Patrick School
St. Patrick Catholic School uses a process of early intervention that targets grades K-3. The primary focus in these grades is in the area of language. The building blocks of phonics awareness and decoding skills are reinforced as well as comprehension. In grades 4 and 5 the focus remains on reading development and includes study skill support as students begin to gain independence and prepare for the transition into middle school.
The Learning Support Team at St. Patrick functions both within the mainstream classroom and includes opportunities for support through small group sessions.
IF you have concerns about your student
The first step is to contact your student’s classroom teacher. Your concerns may be accommodated through conferencing and discussing the current academic difficulties.
IF the student’s difficulties persist, contact the LST directly, or through the classroom teacher.
Possible outcomes may include:
- Classroom Observation
- Classroom modifications- based on need
- Placement in LS monitor or direct services
- Request for informal or formal educational testing, or other screening (speech, vision, hearing)
For further information concerning the LSP please contact one of our LS teachers.
