Independent Study Updates
March, 2017
General Information
There are only 11 weeks left to turn in school work before the last week of the year. Please work diligently to finish your coursework and come to the classroom more often if you need a quiet place to complete assignments. Apex courses need to be finished by June 5th.
Our math tutor is available on Tuesdays from 11:15-12:30 and Wednesdays from 12:30- 2:00.
If you want to participate in summer school at your home school, please make an appointment to see your counselor in the next couple of weeks to discuss this option. I don't offer Independent Study in the summer.
Students can take summer school classes at the community colleges as well. Once the schedules are available, I will let students know about their options.
Students can request to be notified via email when the new Canada schedules are available. Sign up on this link (webschedule) https://webschedule.smccd.edu/ (scroll down to the bottom- Be the First to Know!)
