Student Support Services

Student Support Services provides three different plans which are determined by the student’s diagnosis.

Students who are eligible are offered only accommodations in the general education classroom. Similar to the collegiate-level, students with accommodations are expected to self-advocate for their accommodations. Student Support Services acknowledges previous academic learning plans (Private School Learning Plan, 504 Plan, or IEP), but cannot guarantee that all accommodations and supports are transferable to Central Catholic’s accommodation plans.

Parent/guardian and student signatures are required prior to building an accommodation plan.

Central Catholic High School offers both math and language arts lab classes for incoming freshmen. Student enrollment is dependent on their NWEA test scores which may indicate that they might need extra support in these particular subject areas. Student Support Services works with guidance counselors and administrators in determining lab class placement.

Students with significant academic challenges might be eligible for the Student Support Services Study Skills course. This course is a 1:6 ratio and is a three semester course. 

All testing accommodations for the PSAT, SAT and AP Exams are managed by the College Board. Student Support Services does not determine who does and does not qualify for these tests. The College Board vets eligibility based on accommodation data sent by Student Support Services. The ACT is not affiliated with the College Board and is a separate entity. Student Support Services is only responsible for submitting accommodation data of the student to the ACT who determines who qualifies for accommodations.

Students eligible for testing accommodations can easily access the testing center by having their teacher submit their information to the Testing Accommodation Portal at least 1-2 days before the test day. Once this information is received, the department will notify the student and teacher of the scheduled testing date, time, and location for the accommodated test. The student will then have the option to either opt-in or out of the scheduled exam. If the student opts in, a designated proctor will administer the accommodated test to all attending students quickly and efficiently.

Central Catholic High School’s accommodation plans do not transfer to the university level. However, most universities require updated documentation within three years of enrolling at the university. Although Central Catholic High School’s accommodation plans do not transfer, universities often provide similar accommodations for students with learning differences and use your student’s previous plan as a guide. Please reference your student’s preferred university on what accommodations are available to students.
