St. Francis affirms that all students entering our campus are given the opportunity to receive a quality Catholic education in a supportive environment. Our formal accommodation plans provide appropriate in-class accommodations for students with unique learning or medical needs.

In order to design a formal accommodation plan that meets the unique needs of the student, 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. 

Please submit current evaluation(s) to the Learning Support Specialist @ kdickson@stfrancishs.org. Once submitted, the evaluation(s) will be reviewed to determine what accommodations to include in the plan. 

Medical Support

Formal Education Plans

St. Francis affirms that students with learning differences are given the opportunity to receive a quality Catholic education in a supportive environment. For students with documented learning differences, we offer a Formal Education Plan (FEP) and Medical Education Plan (MSP) which provides appropriate in-class interventions based on the unique learning styles of each student. Students with diagnosed behavioral or medical challenges are also fully supported. 

National Testing

Applications for testing accommodations for College Board (SAT, SAT Subject Tests, PSAT/NMSQT, Advanced Placement) and ACT exams are available through the Registrar. 

It is the responsibility of the parent/student to make the request for standardized testing accommodations.  Requests are completed and submitted by SFHS on behalf of the student, and must be submitted within the strict application deadline dates set forth by College Board and ACT.  

For more information on dates and deadlines or to request more information, please contact our Registrar Sarah Cornell.
