During the school day, students will be provided an opportunity to seek academic support, participate in
enrichment activities, or take advantage of the opportunity to work on classroom assignments. Advisory is
designed to provide personalized and individualized opportunities for students and teachers to address
concerns; to help students recover grades; and to enable students to enrich their learning by challenging
themselves with academic or co-curricular activities. Academic departments will provide extra help to
students by re-explaining concepts and providing time to make up work. Additional benefits include
workshops and guest speakers hosted by the College and Career Counseling Department; peer tutoring
and mentoring sessions; and school assemblies to lessen interruptions and loss of instructional time. All
students will have an adult mentor for all four years of high school to help address concerns and schedule
support.
Students experiencing academic difficulty should seek help from their teachers. Additionally, many
academic departments routinely offer extra help after school to provide assistance and support to students
for their academic studies. Students may also arrange for tutoring by other students through the Math
Honor Society, English Honor Society, and National Honor Society.
The Media Center’s goal is to provide resources and materials that are supportive of students’ intellectual
freedom and to act as an extension to the classroom. The Media Center provides access to materials and
information beyond traditional textbooks such as databases, magazines, eBooks, audio books, along with
a wide variety of non-fiction and fiction books. Since many of these resources are available online,
information can be accessed outside of school hours, allowing students to work at their own pace. These
resources also allow students to develop their critical thinking skills, refine their depth of knowledge and
further their academic interests. Students also use the Media Center as a peer-tutoring location
before/after school hours.
