Academic Intervention

All students will be monitored every four weeks on their academic progress. For those students who are underachievers or not meeting academic expectations, intervention practices will be in place. Intervention practices will be in the form of mandated extra-help opportunities. These opportunities will be available before school, after school and as tutorials during school.

For those students who do not meet course expectations, summer sessions will be held. This session will offer "grade recovery" - a chance for students to be retaught specific lessons or standards they may not have mastered fully and then retested to improve their grade. This will not replace the original grade, but this extra help will be averaged with the original grade for a final grade.

Academic intervention sessions are necessary for students to achieve higher levels of learning. The focus of the intervention practices is that SJCA graduates who choose to attend two- or four-year postsecondary institutions should transition without the need for remediation. Academic progress and the need for intervention will be closely monitored by the Dean of Students.
