The LRC at St. Joseph School helps to facilitate a successful learning experience for students in grades K-8. Learning resource teachers see individual students, small groups, and work in classrooms to assist students and teachers in the learning process.Currently the LRC has four teachers who work with the different grade levels of K-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8. Please visit their homepages for more information specific to those grade levels.
The LRC is a resource and support to administrators, teaches, and parents.
The LRC provides parents with advice on tutoring referrals, outside testing resources, learning differences, tips on study skills, and are available to answer questions about the St. Joseph School curricula. Teachers use the LRC for additional ideas on how to meet learning needs of students, and resources are available that cover topics of learning styles, diagnosing and remediating reading and language difficulties, and for using a wide variety of instructional strategies in content areas.
The LRC teachers also oversee meetings of the Student Support Team which assists the Vice Principals in monitoring all student of academic and/or behavioral concern at St. Joseph School. The Student Support Team brings together teachers, the school counselor, the vice principals, and the learning resource teachers who work together as a team to ensure that students having difficulty are identified and that a plan is in place to help meet their needs.

The LRC strives to serve the entire community of students, parents, and teachers at St. Joseph School. The goal of the LRC is to help every child experience academic success in a friendly and supportive environment.
