We have changed the open lab time so that we may give teachers an opportunity to work with students individually by appointment and/or do scheduled synchronous small and large group instruction in person or via video conferencing. Teachers’ schedules and office hours will not change. Feel free to schedule appointments with your teachers. All of our clubs and activities for students will continue, but some times may change.
The Open Support Class has started and will meet each Thursday from 1:00 to 3:00. This class is specifically designed for technical and navigation issues, not academic tutoring – please make appointments with your teacher or attend regular open lab sessions for academic needs. In addition, we will have one staff member that will meet with students and parents in locations outside of the school to offer support. We understand the frustration that some students are having and we are here to help and support all students so that they may experience success in the MEWA program.
