Help!!! My student is struggling!!!
We are a week past the Quarter 1 Midterm! If your child is at-risk for failing or failing a class, there is still plenty of time to turn things around! High school students earn credits based on their semester grade using this formula: 40% of their Q1 grade + 40% of their Q2 grade + 20% of their Semester Exam grade.
So, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the academic supports we have in place for students that are struggling.
8th Hour Advisory Tutoring – Our National Honor Society students offer peer tutoring from during Advisory. Please contact your child's teacher, Mr. Viola, or me and we will get them signed up for tutoring!
After School Support –There is a staff member available to help your child from 3:30-4:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with homework. Please contact me if you want your child to take advantage of this support.
HW/Lunch Detention – Students that are missing several assignments or major projects may be assigned to a homework lunch detention until they have all missing work completed and are passing all of their classes.
- High School HW Advisory Academic Support– High school students may be assigned to a homework advisory detention until they have all missing work completed and are passing all of their classes.
Please be sure to sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences! If you are unable to attend, please email your child's teacher with any concerns that you may have.
