Academic Support

Our school counselors focus on academic success and the removal of barriers to educational opportunities. We are here to help with anything that’s getting in the way of a cub being the most awesome student he or she can be!

  • Pear Deck (formerly TutorMe) is an online, one on one tutoring service offered for certain students based on need. Please contact your teacher or your counselor for more information.

  • Our new math curriculum offers 2 helpful tools to families during homework/study time. A letter went home to parents and there is an app you can download by following the directions below.

Outside Tutoring

    1. Divide it up: Chunk assignments and studying into smaller manageable parts.
    2. Sleep: Getting sleep the night before a test is vital! Make sure to spread out your studying so you don’t cram.
    3. Set a Schedule: Do homework and study when you are most productive and alert – Mornings? Afternoons? In 90 minute chunks or 20 minute spurts? Figure out what is best for you, and stick to that schedule.
    4. Find a Study Group: Quiz and reteach topics to your friends!
    5. Ask Questions: Teachers are happy to help if you come to them with questions well before a test or quiz.
    6. Reward yourself! For example; if I study for an hour, I get a half hour of computer time.
    7. Find a Good Study Spot: Studying is easier in a quiet, comfortable spot away from distractions.

    1. Help your child create an after school schedule to fit in activities, chores, family time, and homework. Creating a consistent routine really helps.
    2. Provide a quiet place to study, eliminate distractions, and provide supplies.
    3. Help your child develop and maintain an organization system with their binders, backpacks, and google drive to make sure assignments aren’t lost.
    4. Support the use of the planner by doing regular checks. This also allows you to know when things are coming up.
    5. It’s always great to communicate with your child’s teachers and counselor with questions or concerns, but it’s even better to help encourage your child to advocate for themselves at the school.
    6. Stay positive and reinforce effort and attitude. Middle school is a time to learn to be a successful student, it’s ok if grades aren’t perfect as long as we’re always learning a new academic skill.
