Course Description

Study Skills is a course that supports students with their current class load. Each day is customized to meet the needs of the current students. Students may receive re-teaching or re-exposure of difficult content learned in an earlier class, or they may receive assistance with assignments, homework, tests, projects, writing, or organization. There will also be time to complete writing and other assignments related to Study Skills, such as Current Event assignments, journal entries, and various research projects and presentations. We will focus on organization skills and making sure students have the skills and tools necessary to be successful in all classes throughout high school.
