COMMUNICATION - PLEASE JOIN!
Parents and students in Academic Seminar are asked to please join Remind.Com. Remind allows us to communicate privately or as a class. It is the perfect way to stay in touch with important news.
There are two ways to join:
1) Download the Remind app on any cell phone or iPad. Once you sign up, just enter our class code which is @110support
2) If you would rather join by computer please go to www.remind.com (Link is shown below) to Sign Up and then enter our class code which is also @110support
I STRONGLY encourage everyone to join. There may be a need during the school year for us to communicate quickly after hours and the Remind app will let us communicate responsibly without sharing personal information.

Instructional Focus
Each week, we work on skills in four critical areas:
1) Reading Fluency
2) Reading Comprehension
3) Written Expression
4) Math "Gaps"
Each student works at his/her own level on material that is challenging enough to engage them and promote growth, yet not so challenging that the work is frustrating. Our class is about personal growth and improvement in those critical areas.
