Accessing Students Progress
Edgenuity
Be on the look out for an email from Mr. Webster regarding Edgenuity access. Remember that you can access your student's progress in his/her courses through Edgenuity. Please contact Mr. Webster directly if you have any questions about Edgenuity (kwame.webster@jcfa.us).

Tutoring and Banking Time
All students should take advantage of our after-school tutoring and banking program. Our tutoring and banking hours are 1:00pm-2:14pm, Monday-Thursday. English and Social Studies faculty are available during banking on Mondays and Wednesdays, while Math and Science faculty are available during banking on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students are welcome to stay and work on any course during banking. Benefits of banking include:
- Building an attendance "savings account"--We recommend that all students have 15 class periods banked at all times to account for emergencies and other attendance issues that arise.
- Making progress in courses--Banking allows students to complete courses and move through the curriculum faster.
- Receiving help--Banking is a perfect time to work with faculty in areas where students believe they are struggling or behind. Please encourage your student to ask for help!
Student Opportunities and Outreach
JCFA Student Calendar
One of our priorities is exposing students to guest speakers from both the college and career world. Most of these activities/events will take place during banking time. For a current schedule of events please review the JCFA Student Activities Calendar.
If you know of anyone who might be interested in speaking to our students about college and/or career opportunities, please contact Natalie Istre (natalie.istre@jcfaeast.us).
