**Important Information for Parents of Applicants Who May Require Academic Services**
The mission of Ida Crown Jewish Academy Department of Academic Services is to create an educational environment that meets the needs of applicants who have been identified as having a specific learning disability.

The identification of a applicant’s academic strengths and weaknesses is critical for enhancing his/her potential within the learning environment. Therefore, it is required that a full psycho-educational evaluation report, which includes results from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV), a complete Woodcock Johnson III or WIAT achievement battery, and a Woodcock-Johnson III Cognitive assessment of information processing be submitted to the school office. The date of this evaluation should be within two years of application.

It is important to note that eligibility for testing accommodations (i.e. extended time, oral testing, and multiple day testing) for ACT, SAT and AP tests requires a current evaluation and a record of academic services. In the event that an evaluation has not been completed, the Department of Applicant Academic Services is available to assist in the location of appropriate public and private testing sources. The department does require parental cooperation in obtaining information from physicians, therapists, and other service professionals involved in the applicant’s care.

After the evaluation report has been submitted, the Academic Services staff, in conjunction with Academy administration, will develop an educational plan to address the applicant’s learning needs. The parents and applicant will be asked to meet with the Academic Services staff to discuss the creation and implementation of this plan.

Each applicant will be expected to attend all scheduled support sessions, and to make a commitment of at least 1-2 academic hours per day outside school for homework. Parents are expected to provide a supportive environment to encourage academic discipline and effort. In addition, the staff of our College Guidance Department will be available to assist applicants who have been identified with learning needs in the application for accommodations on the ACT, SAT and AP tests.

If you have any further questions regarding requirements for psychoeducational testing at ICJA, please contact Mr. Ariel Zamarripa at (773) 973-1450 x 142.
