Students who qualify for Resource must have an IDEA academic classification through private assessment or by the Calcasieu Parish School System’s Assessment Team. If eligible, students receive an individualized plan for the provision of special education. Each plan describes goals and expectations for each student with specific special education services based on their assessment/evaluation results.

This year our Character Education program is based on our School Theme: We live to love. This theme comes to us from John 13:31-35. “As I have loved you, so you should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples., if you have love for one another.” Each month a designated class focuses on part of the phrase and presents the theme on ictv3 and shares activities with the school to keep the theme alive.
