High school is a big change for many students. Most courses are semestered, therefore you finish the course in five months. This means that there is more home study and more attention needed. If you begin to experience difficulty, you should see your teacher as soon as there is any hint of a problem. There are many solutions. Your teacher will suggest a course of action. It may be simply more study, getting after school help, spending ten minutes going over expectations and concepts. The most important thing though, is to tell someone you are experiencing difficulty. We can help! Your teachers, counselors and administrators are here first and foremost to make sure you have success. You just have to let us know!
We have a scheduled full hour-long block once per week on Wednesdays set aside to help receive additional help Blues Block

We understand that sometimes families have wonderful opportunities for trips that take place at the same time as school. Nevertheless these trips, especially if they exceed two or three days, cause tremendous difficulty. Because high school courses are semestered, missing five days in high school is like missing two weeks in grade 9. You can miss a complete section of the course. In most subjects the material builds up from day to day. Missing such time can be devastating. Many students who have taken extended holidays found their marks dropped by as much as 20%. If this absence cannot be helped you should plan well in advance and contact the subject teacher. Don’t leave it till the last minute.
