As an Archdiocesan high school, Skutt Catholic embraces its moral obligation and Catholic mission to provide a high quality education to students of differing ability levels. In order to give all students the opportunity to be successful, a number of support programs have been implemented.
Students who score low on the admissions exam or struggle with the established curriculum, are enrolled in the Success Study Hall Program. This program offers students the opportunity to receive individualized assistance with homework, time management, test taking strategies and receive direct tutoring from teachers in math, reading, and writing.
Skutt Catholic works closely with the Millard Public Schools to create and manage Individualized Education Plans (IEP) for students who qualify. Utilizing their special education expertise, and in conjunction with Skutt Catholic teachers and counselors, these plans are designed to provide the necessary support for students to reach their full potential.
Student mental health can sometimes be a barrier to student success. In order to better serve students, the school has partnered with Catholic Charities, which provides an on-site, licensed mental health care professional. This individual works closely with school counselors and staff to provide prevention, intervention, and outcome evaluation at the individual, family, and school-wide levels, to strengthen the health and well-being of all students.
Skutt Catholic utilizes a school-wide approach to student support. Teachers, counselors, behavioral health specialists and others work as a team with families when assessing students and planning interventions.
Success Study Hall has 12 students or less, one lead teacher and two paras. The program has three primary goals:
To provide a level of support and communication to Skutt Catholic school counselors who, combined with their other responsibilities, cannot provide daily direct academic support to those students who need this level of support.
To provide academic support to students assigned to SSH. Primarily individualized/small group support (assistance with homework, test preparation, organization, and general oversight of academic success).
To provide regular communication to parents/guardians of students assigned to SSH.
