Students who are enrolled in Community College courses
Remember, community college grades are permanent on college transcripts. The last day to withdraw from a spring semester course without a W (withdrawal) is February 7th. You must talk to me if you intend to drop a class and you must do it prior to this date, or your college transcript will have a W.
Students who elected to rent their textbooks from Canada College must return the books prior to May 27th in order to avoid being charged the full price of the book.
Please be mindful that I am not in communication with college professors regarding student progress in community college classes. Responsibility for attending class, completing assignments and adhering to course requirements and deadlines is completely on the student. It is imperative that students communicate with their college professors if they are having a hard time in a class. I can help with this, but, I cannot be involved without student permission, and I cannot be involved at all if students do not let me know they need help!
The San Mateo Community College District and the Sequoia Unified School District do not have the same spring break. Students must attend their college classes during SUHSD's break. Students who are taking community college courses can talk to me about taking a break from ISP during the community college spring break.
The college professors want their students to succeed and will make themselves available to help students who reach out to them for support. :) There is a tremendous amount of support for students at Canada College. Students just have to seek it.
Please Return Textbooks

Apex Courses
If you are behind in Apex you need to spend more time working on the courses. There is no guarantee that you will have access to Apex courses over the summer, so you need to finish this semester. Students who spend time in our classroom working on Apex tend to experience more success completing courses. I am just saying....
