This department and its programs are provided to allow ‘exceptional students’ to benefit from the public education system. These programs are delivered in the most enabling environment that is required to meet the academic needs of the students with identifications. The school and parents/guardians work with resource staff and other involved agencies, using all available information, to develop an understanding of each student’s strengths and needs and to program in the most appropriate manner.
Students who are formally identified as exceptional are offered a network of tutorial, remedial and organizational support. The amount of time the student spends in the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) varies according to individual needs.

Student Responsibilities
Behaviour
At Paris District High School, students are expected to show respect for their peers, their teachers, the school property and building, the community, and themselves.
Students are expected to adhere to all school rules and regulations while on the way to school, at school, on the way home from school, and at school sponsored, off-campus activities.
Attendance
Students must make every effort possible to attend every class and to be punctual, recognizing that absences do have an adverse effect on achievement. Upon their return after an absence, students must provide a note explaining the absence.
If a student leaves during the school day, he/she must present a signed note and sign out at the Main Office.
Achievement
At Paris District High School, we believe that our goal is to assist our students in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and values that will allow them to lead full and productive lives and will help them to become lifelong learners. As a result, we expect that students will maintain a positive attitude and will strive for excellence in an effort to achieve their potential.
