Academic Support Services
Students are strongly encouraged to utilize the support services available in the building - before they experience any difficulties. Practicing the use of these services builds academic independence and prepares students for the model of academic support on the college level. It also is a great opportunity to build relationships with teachers and peers.
Extra Help: Extra help with classroom teachers is available daily after the last period (2:36 - 3:00). Students should confirm meetings with teachers in advance.
Math Center and Writing Center: Lunchtime sessions in mathematics and writing are available daily. Students sign up in advance for sessions.
Honor Society Tutors: Peer tutors are available through the National Honor Society. Meetings often occur at lunch or after school.
Title I Program: Through NVOT’s Title I program, students who meet specific entry criteria will have the opportunity to access additional academic supports, such as one-on-one instruction before school, at lunch, or after school. Students who qualify for these supports will receive notice at the beginning of the school year, as will their parents/guardians.
