Homeroom Support is a program for students who need help with time management, outside accountability, and independence.

What does the Homeroom teacher do?

The Homeroom teacher meets with the student once a week. During the meeting, they discuss the student's progress in all courses, the upcoming week's assignments, goals for the week, and plans for how to achieve them. After the weekly meeting, the Homeroom teacher sends a weekly list to the mom and student.

The Homeroom teacher helps the student:

• Build habits of organization and time management
• Prioritize assignments
• Work with teachers and parents to cut assignments if necessary

How does Homeroom Support differ from Teacher Support?

While Teacher Support (Learning Support and Teacher Services) focuses on teaching content and grading assignments, Homeroom Support focuses on building organizational habits and keeping the student accountable in all his or her courses. The Homeroom teacher does not grade assignments, but helps the student submit assignments and meet deadlines.The Homeroom teacher will need access to all submitted assignments, so this service works best for students using a combination of Teacher Services or Learning Support for all/most core areas.

(Note: For accountability purposes, the student will still need to upload some work for courses that are not taken with TS or LS. Work will not be graded by the Homeroom teacher.)

Who is suited for Homeroom Support?

The student who benefits most from the program is:

• The student who does not work well with the parent
• The student who is seeking more independence
• The student whose parent is not available due to outside duties

In all cases, the parent will need to oversee communication from the Homeroom teacher.

What does Homeroom Support cost?

The cost is $420 per year for the following services:

• Weekly call (total of 32 calls)
• Personalized weekly list

How do I sign up for Homeroom Support?

If possible, please complete your enrollment in any Learning Support or Teacher Services course before signing up for Homeroom Support.

After you have signed up for Homeroom Support you will receive a survey which should be completed in order for us to determine whether your student is a good fit for this program, or better suited to another option.
