1. The payment of tuition to the Saskatchewan Correspondence School for programs originating with Saskatchewan Education.

2. Facilitating access to common educational resources such as the school Resource Center in the school where the students taking part in a home-based education program would normally attend.

3. Facilitating access to curriculum guides, texts, and resource books currently available in the Creighton School Division, and approved by the Minister, and,

4. Facilitating access to consultative services for special needs students.

Parents are encouraged to identify all support services that they would be requesting at the time of the initial registration of the home-based education program, which they will be directing.

Additionally, the Principal may approve or deny the access of students to other programs, services, and activities of a co-curricular or extra-curricular nature. Parents shall make requests for such access directly to the Principal, stating their reasons for making the request. After consulting with such staff, as he/she feels appropriate, the Principal shall make a decision regarding the request, and this decision shall be final.
