Support Services Program

Academic support built around the student

A team committed to helping Friars thrive.

Support Services at Servite High School are run by Mrs. Lisa Barnard and made up of a dedicated team of professionals equipped and excited to assist Servite students in finding academic success.

The team supports student learning through the Support Program with Accommodations and the Support Program without Accommodations. Servite High School is dedicated to meeting the needs of every young man on campus, and Support Services are designed for a wide range of students who will benefit from extra academic support.

“This class helps you feel prepared for tests. When you get your homework done, it takes the stress off, and you feel confident.”

Benett’29

“Sometimes things get hard and you need a reset, and that’s okay. Teachers like Mrs. Barnard are here to help you refocus, make a plan, and keep moving forward.”

Robert’27

Programs and support levels

Choose your path. Find your support level.

Begin with the program that matches your student’s needs, then select the appropriate level of support.

For students with documented learning differences

Support Program with Accommodations

Students present their IEP, 504, or psychoeducational assessment to the Director of Support Services at a consultation meeting. During that time, an Individualized Accommodation Plan (IAP) is developed. The plan is signed by all parties and uploaded to Aeries for teacher access.

The Support Services team checks in with students regularly to make sure the plan is being followed and accommodations are being met. Students must opt into Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 support.

To enroll, email lbarnard@servitehs.org .

For students seeking extra academic support

Support Program without Accommodations

This program is open to Servite students who do not have documented learning differences but are looking for extra academic support on campus.

Students enroll in Tier 2 Support and join an Academic Achievement class that provides structured work time, content-specific tutoring, executive functioning skills, and effective learning strategies.

Inside the classroom

Focused classes. Practical skills.

Small-group environments give students the time, strategies, and direct instruction they need to move forward with confidence.

01 Academic Achievement Class Executive functioning, guided work time, and small-group tutoring.

Academic Achievement is designed to enhance executive functioning skills, provide work and study time, and connect students with small-group, content-specific tutoring. The first fifteen to twenty minutes focus on study strategies, organizational skills, and time management. Students use the remaining time to work on assignments or study. Classes are intentionally small—around twelve students—and include bi-weekly grade and assignment check-ins. This class is an excellent option for students who need extra support transitioning into high school.

02 Algebra I Fundamentals Support Class An algebra course with built-in accommodations and a reduced class size.

Algebra I Fundamentals is designed for students in the Support Program with Accommodations. The course covers evaluating, simplifying, and factoring algebraic expressions; writing, solving, and graphing linear and quadratic equations; systems of two linear equations; and radical and rational expressions and equations. The course emphasizes using mathematical understanding and skills to solve real-world problems.

03 Conceptual Geometry Support Class A visual and conceptual approach to geometry with built-in accommodations.

Conceptual Geometry is designed for students in the Support Program with Accommodations. Students explore shapes, volume, area, trigonometry, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, symmetry, similarity, and congruence. The class builds a concrete and visual understanding of geometry while developing abstract and conceptual thinking.
