The second grade assessment is provided at no cost to the families of SWS. Each student referred to the educational support team by his or her class teacher receives a grade-appropriate assessment specific to the child's developmental needs, followed by either 12 sessions per school year of educational support, or 12 sessions of tutoring, or both. These sessions are offered at no additional cost to the family. If additional sessions are needed beyond this point, of either Educational Support or tutoring, an educational plan is proposed to the family. Fees for the 2011–2012 school year are $35 per session.
