Welcome to Student Support Services

WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting the student support services website. We are committed to assisting in the success of each student in School District 68 (Nanaimo-Ladysmith).

Student Support Services works collaboratively with parents, teachers and community agencies to provide a range of support services designed to enable students to be successful in meeting their educational goals.

The programs offered support student learning by providing intervention and enrichments for all students and the educational community. By working as a team with the community and educational staff we can assist all students in being successful in their educational programs.

Student Support Services includes a variety of programs designed to assist students. Curriculum can be adapted and/or modified based on individual student needs. Programs include prevention and intervention, special education services, health information and services, and parenting programs. Student Support Services can also serve as the vehicle for providing information and resources to parents and the community regarding health services, student records, transfers, and safe school issues.

Student Support Services differ slightly in all SD68 schools based on school priorities and student needs. Please contact the appropriate individual or school to see which programs are available in the school district or at a specific school site.


Inclusion in SD68

Inclusion is the belief that all students should, where possible, receive their education in age-appropriate regular classrooms in their neighbourhood schools. The school district, together with parents, determines the support(s) needed for successful inclusion.

Inclusion is a continuum of options designed to foster the feelings of belonging, acceptance and community.

To translate this philosophy into successful practice, schools will utilize: • Layers of support, involving both SD68 and community agencies, when appropriate
• Instructional and/or curricular adaptations and modifications on an individualized basis
• Organizational structures based upon collaborative decision-making
• Strong home-school partnerships
