Academic Support

Whether you 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.

Who Should I Contact?

Students experiencing academic difficulties should communicate with:

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.

ACCESS Success Coaches

Students may contact Success Coaches through Schoology Messages within their ACCESS courses.

Follow course pacing guides and deadlines
Check Schoology Messages regularly
Review teacher feedback
