Study Hall Plan

Study Hall Plan With the challenges surrounding our current site, we have decided to move forward in providing a Study Hall for all scholars in need of Academic support. It is critically important that all scholars receive the support that they need to be academically successful. Study hall will run from 3:30-6pm and be facilitated by higher Achievement’s part-time staff with the support of Mr. Sam and/or Ms. Moraya. Qualifying scholars: All families who express a need for this support must provide a current progress report for Center staff to identify areas of improvement and begin the process of supporting scholars. Due to space limitations, we can not accommodate all scholars; however, as indicated on their progress reports, all scholars with a decrease in performance in core subject areas are encouraged to attend study hall.
