Academic assistance, extra help, is available to all of our students with their request. We will do everything within our power to try to make extra help available to students at a time that is convenient to them but with after school meetings it isn't always possible.

We will set aside at least two days a week that students may come in after school for help with their instructor and will coordinate tutoring with National Honor Society students for those who cannot make the study sessions or prefer to come in more play at online casinos than the two days a week in which the instructors will be available.

Our restroom process is very straightforward and if used responsibly provides for access with a minimum of distraction to learning and time out of class.

Students may use the restroom at any time outside of active instruction, lab exercises and the first and last ten minutes of the class period. Only one student is allowed out at a time and restroom passes are limited to seven minutes. Students are not to use a restroom pass for any other purpose: see another teacher, go to the media center, see their counselor, administrator, etc.

Our testing philosophy:

• All students can be successful on rigorous objective tests when the instruction is appropriate, the expectations are consistent and the support systems are in place.
• With the emphasis on testing: quarterly countywide tests, impending exit tests for subject areas, AP exams, FCAT and college entrance exams students need to become more effective test takers.
• Allowing students to use notes, books on tests, or curving the results does not assist students in developing the skills required to become effective testers.
