STEPS TO TAKE WHEN STRUGGLING
Email your teacher to discuss specific concerns or struggles you are experiencing in the class and ask for help. You can find their email at the staff directory.
Use the MiNGA application to request a tutorial appointment with your teacher. Attend a Tutorial Period with your teacher to get extra help. This can be done on a regular basis or as needed. The Tutorial Period is attached to your 4th period on "T" Days on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Create a weekly tutorial schedule and be prepared with your questions or concerns when you meet with your teacher. Are you not understanding the material? Ask for learning strategies to help you learn the material.
Schedule a Student/Teacher/Parent Conference to discuss strategies that will help you improve your grade.
Unsatisfactory grades are often associated with missed or incomplete assignments, lack of participation, and poor attendance. Think about what you can do differently in the classroom and at home to start making changes (baby steps).
Are you deficient in credits? Contact your school counselor immediately to create a graduation plan.
