Academics

The Grad Coach Program was created to help our First Nation, Metis & Inuit Students achieve academic success.  The Grad Coach Teacher, Kathryn Domes, is in constant communication with teachers, students and parents to make sure that students have the academic supports that they need.  The goal is to make sure the students are at school, learning, and getting their assignments completed and handed in.  If students are away, they have the opportunity to access Kathryn to get extra help and extra time to get caught up on missing assignments, review what was missed or to write tests in a quiet space.  The Grad Coach Program is available to help support and advocate for our students.  

• Teachers refer students to Grad Coach teacher.

• Students/Parents reach out to Grad Coach or Support worker to get extra help

• Grad Coach fits them into the schedules to work one on one with them in the Grad Coach room or right in the classroom

• Chromebooks and other school supplies are available for students to use in the school.

• Students can access Grad Coach for extra help, time, to write tests, mentoring.
