Special Services are for students who need classroom accommodations beyond our general classroom instruction. This includes but is not limited to those with a 504 plan, FES-AU Scholarship, Gardiner Scholarship or those identified with a medical diagnosis needing additional support by the teachers, nurse and support staff. If your student has an "IEP, 501, 504 or Gardiner plan", we will ask you to provide a copy of their current plan as well as the past 2 years of report cards and any testing results. This will enable the leadership team to determine the level of support required for your child’s success. Please contact us before you apply, so the administration can review and determine whether or not VCA can accommodate your child’s needs. We enroll a limited number of students per grade level with minor disabilities in order to maintain a balance of academic and behavioral needs within the classroom. Our classroom ratio is approximately 1 teacher to 23 students, therefore, our resources are limited.
