Abiding Savior Lutheran School seeks to support all student learners with evidenced based intervention strategies while effectively providing services for those with unique learning needs. ASLS believes that God has created each of us individually with our own set of strengths and weaknesses. The goal of the ASC is to help students build essential academic survival skills to support independence and accountability with study skills, time management and managing completion of homework assignments. The ASC also supports student’s individual needs either within their classroom or individualized services outlined within their Service Plan or 504 Plan.
How to Seek Services with the Academic Success Center
When the student is identified with a medical diagnosis or educational identification that warrants either a Service Plan or 504 Plan. Evaluation reports are shared with the Special Education Teacher, and you will be contacted to develop or update the Service Plan or 504. Classroom teachers may also identify students that are struggling to keep up with their peers or parents may recognize concerns with learning from home. The classroom teacher and Special Education teacher work together to develop an Academic Intervention Plan that includes strategies used to teach a new skill, build fluency in a skill, or encourage students to apply an existing skill to new situations to for the best opportunity to demonstrate success in the classroom with the least amount of disruptions to the student’s schedule.
Referral Procedures
When a student is suspected of a delay in learning or of a disability, parents are encouraged to inform Special School District of St. Louis County. For those students who need to be referred, parents are encouraged to contact SSD’s intake office at (314) 989-8125. Parents will be sent a packet and instructions for the school section to share with the classroom teacher& special education teacher for completion. The special education teacher will submit (parent and school sections) back to SSD Intake Office. Parents will be notified from SSD Intake office of DESE timelines for referral process.
