FOCUS - For Organization, Completion, Understanding, and Success
Every day when you come in to FOCUS, put your planner on the tables for the Lead Tutor to review, and fill out the Get FOCUSed Form. Tutors will come around and help out as needed.
Procedures in FOCUS:
Fill out the Get FOCUSed Form in complete, grammatically correct sentences every day. Be specific!
Be on time and on task, and work quietly so as not to disturb others.
Work bell to bell.
Ask the lead tutor before leaving the room; obtain a hall pass.
Do not over-stay your hall pass. Bathroom hall passes are 8 minutes.
Complete your planner for every subject every day.
On Monday, write your grade percentages for all classes in your planner. Also write in your upcoming tests and quizzes, a goal for the week, and your plan for the completion of any missing assignments.
If you were absent, be sure to write the missing work in your planner.
Get help - not just with content areas, but with organization and study skills as necessary.
When you have sustained improved grades for a significant amount of time, fill out the release form.
If you are a new student in FOCUS, please fill out our Virtual FOCUS Index Card.
If you are an existing student, you've had all Cs and above for at least a quarter, and you would like to request a schedule change to Regular Gael, fill out this Form. Note that the form is currently locked and will be unlocked again after final semester 1 grades are posted on 1/14/2026.
