The school offers several forms of academic support. Homework Club meets after school on activity bus days to help students who are having trouble completing homework assignments. For more information, contact one of your child's teachers. DEAR DEAR stands for Drop Everything And Read and is a part of the Blair Cluster common objective to improve reading levels. Time is set aside during the school day for individual silent reading.
Parents can help by seeing that their child always has a book to read.
The 6 th and 7 th grades are divided into two instructional teams so that students share the same group of teachers. The 8 th grade operates as one large team. There is also a team for the Foreign Language and ESOL students. This arrangement allows the teachers to coordinate plans for interdisciplinary lessons as well as to work together to help individual students. When parents schedule a conference, it will probably be with their child's entire team.
