Padua identification cards with barcodes are issued to each student at the beginning of the school year. Any teacher has the right to demand a student's I.D. card for the purpose of identification. These cards are required to be carried by all students at all times. Old I.D. cards will be collected at the beginning of every school year. A replacement fee will be charged for lost I.D.s.
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 POLICY
The purpose of the Learning Disabilities program is to educate students to the maximum of their potential, increase the students’ opportunities for success, and to prepare for ongoing educational experiences.
If you student is interested in applying to Padua for 9th-12th grade, please e-mail, fax or mail a copy of your son/daughter’s current IEP and ETR documentation (from 7th or 8th grade) to Ann Marie Frattare ‘94. Our school psychologist will review the paperwork and let you know if we can meet your child’s educational needs.
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.

Students in the library for their study hall may sign up for the same period study hall for the following day at the beginning of each period. This must be done on a day- to-day basis. The student should report directly to the library for the study hall period that they signed up to attend and check off their name as they enter the library.
