Parent Information

Parents are vital to students’ success at school. Parents and guardians act as advocates for their students and provide support from home. Here, find information and resources that can help you help your student.

Parents/guardians are part of the team of experts we consult to write an Individual Education Plan for a student. It is important to note that students in a regular high school program participate in the program with accommodations – strategies we use to help students succeed – but not modifications. Modifying a program means changing the content of the course, while accommodating the program means that we provide specific supports for students but do not change the content of the course.
