SHS Freshman Academy

Greetings from the Academy! You should have already received the interim reports halfway through our first quarter. Teachers of students who are failing a class also conferenced with students individually and helped them formulate a Student Improvement Plan. These should be signed by the parents and returned back to the teachers.

The end of the first quarter is October 23rd and report cards will be issued after final grades are turned in by teachers. This is the time for students to be getting help in tutoring. Each teacher comes early or stays late at least one day per week officially. Unofficially, most teachers are here early AND stay late every day!Please click here to see the tutoring schedule (this is also placed at EVERY Academy teacher’s door).  academy-tutoring-calendar.doc

Please continue to encourage students to attend every class on time and ready to learn! Their participation in class is essential to their success! Students who are skipping class are regulary caught, which results in disciplinary action. In class is the BEST place!!

Upcoming Dates:
