 Assessment may involve interviewing

  • the student

  • parents

  • teachers/principal

 

The goal of the assessment process is to get a well rounded view of what the student’s needs are.

PACE Support Workers use information gathered during the assessment phase to create and implement a personalized plan for each student.

Supports are ongoing through the school year as needs change or issues arise. Frequent contact is made with each student to monitor their emotional well-being, behaviour, attendance and classroom success.

 

Open communication and frequent contact with parents / guardians is also a very important part of the program and student success!

Students need to be referred to a PACE Support Worker to be considered for services.

​

  • Referrals can be made by:

  • School Principal

  • Teacher / School Staff

  • Parent / Guardian Community Agencies

  • Students themselves

​

Contact will be made with the Parents/ Guardians to obtain consents.

Currently you must be a member of Walpole Island First Nation to be referred to the P.A.C.E. Program.
