Who do I contact if I have a concern about my success in a course?
Who do I contact if I have a concern about my success in a course?
Your first contact should be the classroom teacher. It is important you get all the information related to evaluations/marks and class performance. You need to first figure out if the lack of success in a course is due to things you can control (attendance, task completion, participation) or things out of your control (processing speed, reading comprehension, essentially anything that is connected to your LD).
If lack of success is due to your learning profile, then you need to speak to your classroom teacher about your IEP and accommodations. You can also set some goals with your teacher to ensure success. You should also connect with your GLE and GLS teacher for advice.
Feel free to schedule an appointment with your guidance counselor to review things.

What if technology or access to technology is an issue?
All grade 9 students that have never had a 1:1 device can ask forone from their Vice Principal. Teachers ensure technology access in school by teaching classrooms with technology or by borrowing Chromebooks from ARC. However if you do not have technology at home, please let me know and I will review your OSR and see if you qualify for a SEA Claim.
