When: Monday-Thursday 3:20-4:20pm, Starting September 1st in the French Classroom.
What: Study Hall is a quiet, structured space where students can stay after school to focus on their academic success. With a teacher present for support, students are encouraged to:
- Log into PowerSchool to check current grades and assignments
- Create a list of missing or incomplete work
- Use the hour to complete homework, study, or catch up on assignments
*Teachers are present for organization support and supervision, not for academic tutoring
Debate Team (5th-8th Grade)
This experience is sponsored by the ACES debate company and is an additional cost. See the website for more information.
