Fast Class

Description

Open to Grade(s): 9-12

Prerequisite : Approval from FAST Staff

FAST which is an acronym for Foster Academic Success Today, is offered to students in our regular education program to receive academic assistance. The goal of FAST is to help students achieve academic success. Students will work to gain study skills necessary to succeed in high school course work. They will also receive individual student/teacher monitoring of homework with necessary assistance when needed. Students will also be assisted in preparation for tests and projects.

Students who assert genuine effort will be able to earn one-eighth elective credit towards graduation for each semester of FAST Class. They will be reassigned to one of our SCHS certified teachers during their study hall period.
