St. Thomas More Cathedral School

Resource

The purpose of the resource room is to help students with special needs achieve academic success. Through small group and one-on-one instruction, Mrs. Noll and Mrs. Rimicci are able to hone in on the specific needs of the students. Through careful collaboration with the classroom teachers, we are able to assist the students in building study skills, math skills, and pre-reading and literacy skills. It is our goal to help students develop strategies that they can use independently in their daily work.
