An array of student support services are available for students who require extra help.
Our student support team is made up of three full time teachers, Ali Banchiere, Viviana Saraceno and Jill Cox, who collectively have extensive backgrounds and degrees including masters in special education, autism specialty, and Orton Gillingham certifications.
The team is also trained in ADHD, high functioning autism, social skills, giftedness, and general classroom support.
Because of our innovative student support program, Omega is able to admit and support students with special needs on a limited basis.
Not only is this wonderful for children with special needs to get the added help, but for the whole community. It is one of the reasons our classrooms run so smoothly – everyone has their needs met.
The support team crafts a student support plan, communicates regularly with parents, oversees classroom accommodations, and acts as a liaison with any off-campus providers.
The goal is for students in the program to be included in the regular classroom with only limited pull-outs, if needed.
The initial fee to be enrolled in the program is $1,500 for the school year, with additional hourly fees for the service plan. Hourly rates are $25/hour for classroom support, and $35 to $45 an hour for one-on-one services.
Omega has a School Counselor that can help student counseling needs.
Through Omega Middle School, Will Ray will provide students and families counseling sessions of 30-60 minutes as needed for brief solution-focused concerns/solutions/and outcomes.
Families and students can contact him at Will.Ray@omegamiddleschool.org or by request through the student’s classroom teacher.
You can find Will on campus on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.
