Instructional Support

Sacred Heart School Instructional Support values the gifts of each student and recognizes the diversity of our SHS student population.  Our instructional support program provides a warmly supportive and structured environment where all are loved and all are welcome to learn and grow together.  

Our Instructional Support teachers instruct students, provide support, monitor and evaluate students' specific learning needs. Mrs. Maria Hayes and Mrs. Kristen Stengel provide pull-out services in the Instructional Support classroom.  Support services and Push-In services are provided in the general education classroom.  

Students who qualify for Instructional Support Services receive specially designed instruction and/ or support to meet their unique needs.   A Sacred Heart School Instructional Support Plan (ISP) is prepared in collaboration with parents, faculty and administration.   Examples of services may include:

• Replacement Services: Students received an individualized curriculum that is different from their classmates.  

• Support Services: Students join their classmates for instruction in their general education classes.  Accommodations and modifications are provided in the classroom. 

• Enrichment Services:  Students with a GIEP receive push-in, or pull-out services as recommended by their GIEPs.  Students in grades 4-8 who earn high academic scores and demonstrate excellent school work habits and academic skills will be eligible for Student Enrichment Experiences provided by IU 13.
