IS101 – Mentoring 

· Full year – 1 credit - Grades 11, 12

· Selection Criteria: Select - Minimum 3.0 GPA 

· Fee - none

Selected upperclassmen will have an opportunity to be paired with elementary students through Big Brothers/Big Sisters.  Students will meet with their little brother/sister one time per week during the school year.  Students will have lunch/study hall in consecutive periods, allowing them a 2-period time block in which to travel to the elementary. Training and supervision will be provided by the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization.  Consistent attendance is essential. Students who miss multiple mentoring sessions may become ineligible for high school credit. Attendance will be reviewed at the end of the first quarter, and ongoing issues may lead to removal from the course after the first semester. Any student who misses more than one-third of scheduled mentoring sessions will not receive credit and receive an F (fail).  This course is reported as pass/fail.
