STUDENT SUPPORT SERV ICES SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES We understand that there may be circumstances when a parent may request that the School provide an adjustment or accommodation for a student's medical needs or physical, mental, or learning disability. As the range of requests have grown over the years, the School believes that it is appropriate at this time to outline the School's policy and general guidelines for addressing such requests. General Policy: In general, it is our School's policy to provide accommodations or adjustments for a student's minor needs in circumstances in which the administration determines that doing so is within the reasonable ability of the School and/or its staff and will not result in a significant disruption to the teacher's ability to instruct other students, to classroom or school order and discipline, will not require a threat of harm to the safety of other students or employees, will not require a fundamental change to our educational environment or mission, and will not impose responsibilities on school employees for which they are not trained. We also ask parents to realize that, given the size of our school and our available resources, we may not be able to provide required accommodations. To the extent we agree to provide accommodations, we may require a sharing of responsibility for the accommodations. PROCEDURE, REQUESTS AND DOCUMENTATION Physical Accommodations: For any type of physical accommodation (including administration of medication at School), the parent must contact the School nurse of the need. e School nurse will then advise the parent of the type of medical documentation needed, which generally will state the student's diagnosis, how the condition limits the student, the recommended accommodations, and the length of time that the accommodation(s) will be needed.
