Academic Lab

Course Description:

This academic lab serves for students who need extra support that they cannot get in the general education classroom. This class helps give students the skills needed for the classroom. We do re teaching and pre teaching as well.

Masks will be worn in the classroom at all times.

Eating is only allowed at certain times determined by teacher

Student Responsibilities:

· Complete assignments that have been assigned

· Stay on task and ask for help as needed. I am here as an extra resource. I will help you.

· Your grade is determined as follows:

o In class assignments

o Notes

o Weekly Progress Report

Students will complete a weekly progress report of all classes every Monday. This will help you be PROACTIVE in your classes so that credit recovery is not something you have to complete in the future. Simply being in credit recovery DOES NOT mean that you will automatically earn the credit. It requires hard work and a dedication to learning, staying focused, and passing your tests.

Specific Computer Expectations:

· No food or drinks in class during regular hours, especially around computers.

· No listening to music (unless given permission) or playing games/watching videos. NO STREAMING!
