News Kathryn (Rotz) Dickson '96

If you would like to apply for formal accommodation on behalf of your daughter for the upcoming school year, please follow the steps below:

  • Please submit a copy of the current medical, psychological, or educational evaluation(s) to the Learning Support Specialist, kdickson@stfrancishs.org
  • St. Francis requires a current psychoeducational evaluation (3-5 years) and/or medical evaluation (1 year) on file to ensure the accommodation plan addresses student needs in the least restrictive environment. 

The evaluation(s) should fit the following criteria: 

  1. Diagnosis should be clearly stated. 
  2. All information should be current. 
  3. History should be presented. 
  4. Functional limitations should be described. 
  5. Recommended accommodations should be justified. 
  6. Evaluator’s professional credentials should be listed. 
  • Once submitted, the evaluation(s) will be reviewed to determine what accommodations to include in the plan. 
  • If the student qualifies for a formal plan, the team will share the plan with the parent(s)/guardian(s), the student, and the teachers in August. 

If you have any questions, please contact Katie Dickson, Learning Support Specialist.
