Academic Support Services
Several academic programs are offered at our high school. Many students receive help through one or more of our various support services. These include the Academic Intervention Services (AIS) Program and Resource Room Program. Students may also receive help from teachers during activity period (12:43 pm - 1:12 pm) Monday through Friday.
Students are chosen to participate in the AIS program based on the following criteria: standardized test scores, academic performance and teacher recommendation. Parents may also request that their child receive academic intervention. Students receive assistance from classroom teachers as well as our reading specialist. They meet in small groups (eight students or less) with their AIS provider for a minimum of three (3) periods during a six (6)-day cycle and up to a maximum of six (6) periods in a six (6)-day cycle. It is not a time set aside for homework. Rather, this time is spent building skills and strengthening a student's understanding in identified subject areas.
Students identified under the Committee on Special Education (CSE) receive services as recommended on their Individualized Education Plan (IEP).These plans are developed annually and specify the types of services each identified student receives. Students typically receive resource room assistance due to an identified learning disability in a particular subject area such as reading or math. They are assigned to work with a certified special education (resource room) teacher who will assist them with their assignments and provide any necessary accommodations. Similar to the AIS Program, students meet three (3) or more periods during a six (6)-day cycle with their resource room teacher.
The Activity Period Program allows all students to seek assistance from classroom teachers from 12:43 pm -1:12 pm on Monday through Friday.
We are proud of the support services we offer in our high school. We are interested in preparing students with good work habits and study skills as they prepare for their transition to their career, college, or the military.
