Academic Supports at Conant 5X社区

Grade Reporting

Student grades are reported by semesters. Each semester is made up of 18 weeks. Parents are informed of their student’s progress at 6- and 12-week intervals. The 6- and 12-week in-progress grades may include special comments from the teacher. Parents of students having difficulty or doing unsatisfactory work are urged to meet with teachers and/or the student’s counselor to discuss improvement options. Specific dates of all student reports are in each school’s Calendar Handbook. Additionally, all parents may view the status of their students in classes in which the teacher is using the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.

Team Room

Students work with their counselor to develop a personal academic plan based on their interests and goals. The counselor can also recommend other academic supports as needed. Administrators, counselors, psychologists, social workers, and support staff work hand-in-hand to personalize a student’s academic supports.

Seminar

All students with a free period are assigned a Seminar where they can quietly do work or seek other academic supports in the intervention hallway.

Tutoring

Tutoring for various subjects is available throughout the school day. Students are able to drop in for extra support as needed to ensure academic success. Students are always encouraged to talk to their teachers about specific issues in their class.

Guided Study Hall

Students may be assigned to a Guided Study Hall. This study hall offers a smaller setting in which they may receive one-on-one guidance from a staff member. In addition, students will work to develop study, organizational, and other academic skills.

Athletic Study Hall

Student athletes may be assigned to a Guided Study Hall if their grades fall below the district standard. This study hall is designed to give your student athlete a quiet work environment and access to additional resources when needed.

SAT Prep

Students identified through our search process or requesting training for the SAT may be assigned to our SAT Prep program that runs second semester. There they will receive additional strategies and materials in a smaller setting tailored to improve their test preparation.

Student Support Team (SST)

Each SST consists of an administrator, counselors, and psychologist/social worker, which provides one point for parents and students to access support services. This team format provides an opportunity for staff to collaborate and to address attendance, behavior, and academic issues quickly and efficiently.

PRIDE

Conant 5X社区’s PRIDE Program (Preparing Resourceful Individuals Determined to Excel) is a student mentorship program aimed at easing the transition to high school. Mentors are junior and senior students who have been selected based on their leadership qualities. PRIDE meets three days per week (Tuesday - Thursday). Student mentors and visitors to the program conduct lessons for freshman students during the first half of their lunch period first semester. These lessons are focused on providing students with resources for a successful student career and helping students establish a sense of belonging at Conant 5X社区. At the end of the first semester, the PRIDE curriculum will be complete.

Need Help, But Not Sure Where to Begin?

If a student has academic questions or difficulties they should contact their classroom teacher for help. Parents may contact teachers through email or by phone. Questions regarding scheduling, emotional health/wellness support, or post-secondary planning can be addressed by a student’s counselor. Students who may not know where to begin for support may visit their team room where a staff member or administrator can engage them and help to ascertain their unique needs.
