Inclusion Process / STEP

Archdiocesan schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. However, certain schools in the archdiocese are operated as single gender.

While Incarnation does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

Parents/guardians may request a minor adjustment for students with a disability and of the appropriate procedure to address any complaints of disability discrimination​.

The Support Team Education Plan (STEP) is a collaborative process that brings together students, parents/students, teachers, and administrators to seek positive solutions based on a student's strengths and special needs to help that student benefit from his or her education and to facilitate participation in the Catholic school curriculum.

See the​ Support Team Education Plan (STEP) flowchart.

The school appoints Support Team Education Plan administrator, who is the principal or principal's designee or the STEP coordinator ("administrator").
