Special Education at Sir Wilfrid Laurier

At Sir Wil, our Resource Room is known as the Blue Room, an academic support room that is open to all students. The Blue Room is open before school and at lunch as well as all periods of the day. Before school the Blue Room hosts a Breakfast Club where any student can drop in and grab a healthy snack to start their day. With permission from their classroom teacher, students are welcome to visit the Blue Room to get caught up on coursework, as a quiet place to complete evaluations, and as a place to use or borrow technology (Chromebooks that can stay within the room or Laptops that can be borrowed to take to the classroom). The Blue Room also offers a variety of types of work space, including standing tables, wobbly chairs, and a variety of standard seating.
