Accommodations

We provide individualized, classroom accommodations for which students may qualify. We do not, however, offer modifications to the curriculum. Accommodations will be determined based on individualized student needs, as identified in psychoeducational or additional evaluations, and in alignment with the curriculum established by the Archdiocese of Atlanta. In accordance with the student’s documentation, he or she may qualify for all or some of the following accommodations:

• Extended time on assessments
• Use of a computer for written tasks
• Printed Tests
• Note-taking assistance
• Preferential seating
• Use of audiobooks
• Direct answer marking on tests
• Spelling consideration on in-class tasks
• Use of a 4-function calculator
• Testing in minimized-distraction environments

Any student who has psycho-educational testing on file and has been using accommodations on a regular basis can request accommodations on standardized tests administered by ACT or College Board (PSAT, SAT, AP testing). Detailed information is available on the Canvas SSD Course. Be aware that ACT and College Board are two separate companies and have different procedures and deadlines for their requests. Requests can not be made until the student/parent has completed a Google Form, submitted a signed parental consent form and provided all documentation that will be sent with the request (in electronic form). In order for St. Pius X to meet the deadlines set by College Board and ACT, the student/parent must meet the SPX Submission Deadline. Below are the deadlines for both College Board (CB) and ACT.
