A requirement for this program is satisfactory academic performance. After-School Programs offer students activities which extend their interests. Seven-week topics range from aerobics to zoology. Late buses provide transportation for students who participate in the After-School Program. The daily X-Block offers students time for extra academic help, instruction in topics of interest, exploratory or enrichment opportunities in all subjects, large group music rehearsals, intramural sports, and library research.
Students sign up for their choices for X-block during homeroom.
The Advisor - Advisee Program meets weekly in homerooms to provide each student with opportunities for interaction with peers and a caring adult. Some topics deal with time management, preparing for tests, peer pressure, confronting situations involving drugs and alcohol, stress management, and cheating. Other sessions are devoted to planning and carrying out community and school service projects. The goal is to help students solve problems effectively. The Character Concepts Program is an integral part of the Grade 5 Advisor Advisee period, establishing the characteristics that underlie student success.
