FIP Program

Anyone can officially be enrolled in FIP.

FIP programming should include a variety of settings and opportunities (in and out of the classroom).

Students can officially be enrolled in FIP programming in grade 9.

If a student is in a FIP program they can also be registered in an ALT class.

All FIP students need to have an IIP.

As a school, we should help families connect with CISS.

What does FIP stand for?

The classroom teacher is responsible for FIP programming.

Every student has a right to receive instruction appropriate to their age and level of educational achievement. Functional Integrated Programs (FIPs) provide one means of achieving this expectation. School divisions offering FIPs must develop policies and/or procedures to ensure that students are appropriately placed in a FIP. FIPs are to be provided for students with significant multiple or intellectual disabilities, who require highly individualized programming in order to meet their needs, when it is demonstrated that the student is unable to meet the requirements of the Regular Education Program or an Alternative Education Program, even after the Adaptive Dimension (The Adaptive Dimension for Saskatchewan K-12 Students) and responsive instruction, interventions and supports have been used extensively.

Collaborating with the parent(s)/guardian(s), student, school division personnel and outside agencies (when appropriate) regarding placement decisions for FIP programming is a must.

If students are under the age of 14 (& 8 months) they can still access an unofficial FIP program if a data-informed, team decision (including parents and Student Support Consultants) has been made.
