How Summer Learning supports students with special education designations (please read carefully):
 

Students with any special education category can register for summer classes.
However, SD43 Summer Learning provides formalized supports for students who have an Individual Education Plan (only in Category A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H), with significant learning needs (i.e., disabilities of an intellectual, physical, sensory, emotional, or behavioral nature). Please check your child's current IEP to see their current category. Students with Category K, Q, R, or P IEP's are not supported as described below but can register for summer classes.

Support for students in Categories A through H will include:

• a written Summer Learning Plan, based on a student’s Individual Education Plan from their home school, implemented by summer school teachers
• in-class accommodations, as needed
• on-site resource teacher support, as needed
• See deadline dates below

and may include:

• Educational Assistant staffing, assigned to the summer school site, to provide limited support to students on the basis of health, safety, and personal care needs only. Not all students with IEPs and currently being supported by EA's will receive EA support in Summer Learning. EA staffing is allotted to summer schools in accordance with SD43 procedures. See deadline dates below. 

Due to the nature of summer learning programs and available resources, the above supports will not necessarily reflect the supports provided at the student’s home school during the regular school year.

Timeline:

April:            Register your child(ren) for the lottery. If your child successfully secures a seat in the lottery we will 
                    reach out to schools for more information. 

April/May     The Summer Learning department requests copy of the student's IEP from the home school, to learn
                    about student's strengths, needs, and areas of support.  Summer Learning staff write a Summer 
                    Learning Plan (SLP) for the student.    

Late May:    The school district determines the amount/type of EA support, if needed.

Early June:  Summer Learning staff will contact the parent by phone or email to discuss any questions the parent 
                    may have and share a copy of the Summer Learning Plan.

Children who are not Coquitlam School District students who register for SD43 Summer Learning will be enrolled based on available space. The parents of a non-SD43 student with an IEP (Category A through H) must submit a copy of the IEP by Friday, April 24th. This only applies if the student has secured a seat in the program. 

Students who are designated in Category Q (Learning Disabilities), Category K (Mild Intellectual Disabilities), Category P (Gifted) or Category R (Students Requiring Behaviour Support or Students with Mental Illness) are not provided with EA support or a formal Summer Learning Plan.  The parent is encouraged to share the child's IEP with the summer teacher on or before the first day of class and discuss any accommodations that are feasible and needed in the summer program. 

SD43 Summer Learning will provide support to identified English Language Learners. Teachers will provide support through in-class accommodations based on consultation with an on-site ELL specialist teacher. Pull-out services will not be available.
