Hello wonderful Alta Community,
We hope you and your students had a great weekend. Welcome to quarter 2! By mid this week, grades will be posted for quarter 1. This week is also our spirit week. We are excited for the activities we will be holding this week.
As we are starting a quarter 2 today, we would like you to review our intentions and school protocols for students during advisory. Advisory this year has provided students with additional intervention time and allows them the opportunity to tailor this time to more effectively meet their personal learning needs and goals. Here are some clarifications and guidelines that will help them make the most effective and efficient use of this time.
- Advisory Intervention time takes place during school instructional hours. Teachers are working and supervising full classes of students studying multiple subjects during this period. This makes Advisory Intervention time most ideal and most effective for make-up work and for additional time to complete unfinished assignments that require limited teacher supervision or guidance.
- Advisory Intervention time can NOT accommodate personal tutoring needs because the teacher is not available for one-on-one individual tutoring. Students whose academic needs and goals require personal, individual tutoring to improve understanding or who require personal tutoring following missed instruction due to absence would be much better served by taking advantage of the morning engagement period from 7:10 to 7:40 or after school engagement from 2:25 to 2:55. At these times students can make an appointment with their teacher and receive individual one-on-one tutoring.
Overall, if a student is in need of more personalized help, please utilize our engagement time before and after school. We look forward to working with your student to provide the academic interventions they need in the most effective and efficient way possible.
