The special needs coordinator works with the guidance department and serves as a resource for parents and students with academic concerns. Needs of students with Individual Education Programs, 504s, or private assessments are shared with teachers. Students having academic difficulties are evaluated and possibly referred for assessment.

In-house academic support programs include Learning Lab and Academic Support. Learning Lab is a study hall for freshmen. Academic Support is an opportunity for upperclassmen to receive academic support on an as-needed basis. A special needs teacher supervises both programs. The goal of the special needs program at BSM is to help students achieve academic success.
