Academic Support
Academic Support
For students who need help understanding course content, staying on pace, improving grades, or overcoming challenges in an ACCESS course, support is available. Students are encouraged to seek assistance early and communicate regularly with teachers, facilitators, counselors, and parents/guardians.
-
Students experiencing academic difficulties should communicate with the following individuals:
- Their ACCESS teacher through Schoology Messages
- Their school-assigned facilitator
- Their school counselor
- Their parent/guardian
Early communication often prevents small challenges from becoming larger issues.
-
Students who need additional academic support may request assistance from an ACCESS Success Coach. Success Coaches provide guidance, encouragement, and subject-area support to help students stay engaged and successful in their courses.
Todd Burwell – Mathematics & Science
Macie Couey – Special Populations
Charlene Deakyne – Mathematics
Kim Holmes – English Language Arts & ELA Electives
Students may contact Success Coaches through Schoology Messages within their ACCESS courses.
-
To help ensure success, students are encouraged to do the following:
- Work in their courses daily
- Follow course pacing guides and deadlines
- Check Schoology Messages regularly
- Review teacher feedback
- Ask questions when concepts are unclear
- Monitor grades and progress frequently
- Communicate concerns as soon as they arise.
-
Technical resources are available within each ACCESS course to assist with common issues such as uploading assignments, accessing course materials, and other technology-related concerns.
