 * WHAT IS STUDENT SUCCESS? **

Student success is a multi-faceted system of progressive academic support.The Student Success Strategy is based on the belief that every student deserves a good outcome from his or her education and that the outcome should: - be the best fit possible with each student’s learning - instill willingness and capacity for further leaning - have a core of common knowledge, skills and values

Student Success involves the parents, classroom teacher, Student Success teachers, administration, and Board support staff.The 2012-2013 Student Success teachers at South Carleton are: Sheri Eady  Kelly Francis Jasmine Schuster **CREDIT INTERVENTION** __Opportunity__ __Club__ Students who have missed or incomplete assignments have the opportunity to complete the work on Monday at lunch in Room 19D.

To take advantage of this program, the classroom teacher must complete a form, available in Guidance or on BEAM in the Student Success folder, which outlines the steps below:

- call home to inform the parent of the missed/incomplete assignment - inform parent & student of the opportunity to complete the assignment Monday at lunch - obtain agreement from parent and student - provide the work required to Guidance in an envelope with the form attached

The Student Success Teacher will monitor and assist with the work required.The completed work will be returned to the classroom teacher for evaluation.

__Tutoring__ After Letters of Concern, students at risk of academic failure will be identified by classroom teachers, Guidance Counselors, and Student Success teachers.These students will be contacted by Student Success and tutoring will beoffered. Student tutors will be available in Room 19D.Students are responsible for bringing course work. Depending on the demand for tutoring support, tutoring may be offered twice a week.
