Academic Support
The Student Services team assists all students in achieving their full potential. Our goal is to support students in becoming independent learners and to teach students to set and achieve academic goals. Student Services advocate for individual student needs as we understand that children have unique learning styles. We act as a liaison for students, parents and teachers.
Academic Support can also be provided through:
-
Organizational, study, and test-taking skills
-
Education in understanding strengths as a learner
-
Goal Setting/Decision Making
-
Transition Planning
-
District & State Assessment Prep
Progress Reports
Progress reports for parents who opt out of online grading and reports are coordinated through the counseling department at the mid-point of each grading period. Only Ds and Fs are mailed home for these students.
