The Resource Tutorial Program is designed to assist students in completing their high school education within the prescribed four-year period. This program structures time and instructional assistance for students with their academic classes. Additionally, teacher and student monitoring of academic progress is built into the program. Elective credit is earned by successfully completing this class.
Course Rules and Expectations
- Students are to be inside the classroom ready to work at the final bell. Special Education Department policy regarding tardies states that after four tardies, the student is referred to Administration for detention.
- When students arrive in class, they should be prepared to work on specific assignments. If a student does not have work from other classes, the teacher or instructional assistant will give an instructional assignment.
