RESOURCE

Guardian Angels School is fortunate to have a Resource Room to serve the students identified with a learning disability.  However, we do have students that have other special educational needs.   We rely on the West Point Public School for assistance with identifying and testing our students.

If a teacher in one of the classes feels that a student might be having a learning problem, she/he fills out an SAT (student assistance team) referral.  The SAT consists of teachers in the lower, middle, and upper elementary grades along with the principal, the resource room teacher, and representatives from the public school.  If the team feels there might be a disability, it may recommend testing.  The testing is conducted by the WPPS.

Respect, cooperation, and friendliness characterize this relationship.  Mr. Lee Frye, the special education director, conducts our meetings.  He and his staff are the case managers of our IEP's (individual educational plan).  If the student is identified with a speech or language problem, Pat Hotovy, a speech and language pathologist, will work with him/her.
