I.D. CARDS
Padua identification cards with barcodes are issued to each student at the beginning of the school year. If a student should lose their I.D., a replacement card is available for purchase in the General Office.
Student I.D. cards may be required for admission to after-school events.
Students may use their student I.D. cards for free admission to all home athletic events, except Hockey. LEARNING DISABILITY PROGRAM
The purpose of the Learning Disability Program is to educate students to the maximum of their potential, increase the students’ opportunities for success, and to prepare for post-secondary education. The classes are unique in that they are taught to the individual needs, goals, and objectives in their educational plans. Because students’ learning rates and styles vary considerably, the need for flexibility is established with individual student expectations.
Students are accepted at Padua Franciscan High School primarily on their ability to do satisfactory work in Padua’s curriculum and to function within our guidelines and policies. The following items are evaluated in the admissions process to determine a student’s ability to succeed at Padua: the entire grade school record (with emphasis on 6th, 7th, and 8th grade achievement), conduct, effort, attendance, standardized tests taken on the elementary level, and performance on the Padua placement test.
LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES
The Padua Franciscan High School Learning Support Program (LSS) encompasses a variety of services, having the common goal to ensure that all students succeed in Padua’s college preparatory curriculum by meeting the students’ individual needs. The LSS Program includes the following: Learning Disabilities Program, Autism Program, Speech-language services, and SEGO/Accommodation services. Padua Franciscan High School has services that meet the needs of students identified as Specific Learning Disability, Other Health Impairments – Minor, Autism, and Speech/Language Impairment. Behavioral supports and academic modifications are not available to meet the needs for students identified as Intellectual Disability, Multiple Disability, and Emotional Disturbance.
