CAPS - Resource Center

CAPS - Crusader Accommodation Plan at Saints Peter & Paul Catholic School

Welcome! This year we are starting a new resource program to serve students in need of academic success. My name is Frances McNew and I will be directing and teaching in the Resource Center this year. I am looking forward to working with your child and helping him/her to achieve at his/her full potential.

The Resource Center at SS Peter and Paul Catholic School serves students ranging from the Kindergarten to the eighth grade who may be experiencing difficulties in the learning process or who have been diagnosed with a slight learning disability. The teaching is based on the premise that all students can learn, despite any obstacles in their path. For that reason, the students will receive instruction and support both in the Resource Center and in the general education classroom. Your child will receive an educational program that encompasses the accommodations, goals and instructional strategies outlined in his/her Accommodation Plan. If you have any questions regarding your child's academic performance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Throughout the year, I will communicate with the home through notes, telephone calls, progress reports, and report cards. I will also be available for parent-teacher conferences, as they are needed.

The parent-teacher relationship is vital to your child's success in school. By working together, we can help your child have a very fulfilling learning experience. If you are able to visit, the Resource Center is now located in the Media Center in the library. I may be reached during school hours at 520-325-2431 ext. 114.

The 2010-2011 school year is going to be a great experience for your child involved in the Resource Program and the SS Peter and Paul community. I would like to thank you in advance for your support and commitment throughout the year.

Best Wishes,

Frances McNew
SSPP Resource Teacher.
