Welcome to Student Success!  Student Success works closely with the Guidance Department and Special Education Departments to support underserved students.  We are focused on changing outcomes for students and seeking opportunities for success at MPCI.

The Student Success teacher directly monitors, mentors and provides advocacy for students and intervenes when possible to provide additional support. Achievement, attendance and transition data helps identify students who may need Student Success support.

Some supports offered at Monarch Park Collegiate each semester:

• Direct Student Advocacy and Mentoring

• Dual Credits and School Within a College (SWAC)

• Homework Hangout (Monday - Thursday 3:15 - 4:30 in Room 224)

• Credit Recovery - timetabled as an opportunity for students to earn unsuccessful credits

• Resource Room (during school hours)
