Strathmillan School Resource Program
Strathmillan School is proud to offer a comprehension resource program. We have three resource teachers. We are also known as SNITs (Special Needs Integration Teachers). Shirley Bender and Andrea Morphy work full time. Celia Plett works 70%. Twenty percent of her time is as a reading recovery teacher. Each year we divide our responsibility by classroom and/or grade level. This year the division is as follows:
Shirley Bender- kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2 and case manager for students with special needs in the primary multiage programs.
Celia Plett - grade 3 and resource support for the primary multiage programs
Andrea Morphy - grades 4 and 5
To complement our resource program, Strathmillan School also offers other services. Our school has many educational assistants. Almost each classroom has one (or more) educational assistants! We also have a guidance counsellor who works 70% at our school. Through Educational Support Services (ESS) we can also access supports from the following clinicians:
Speech and Language Clinician (Jenn Allan)
Social Worker (Suzie Preteau)
Occupational Therapist (Monica Desgagnes)
Physiotherapist (Carol Fraser)
Psychologist (Maria Phelps)
Psychiatrist (Dr. Young)
Consultant for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (Karen Graham)
If you would like more information on our school's resource program, please feel free to contact Shirley, Andrea or Celia at the school.
