Academic Intervention Class

(This class is designed for 7th and 8th grade students)

The goal of this class is to help students succeed in school. This class gives students a study hall opportunity three days a week. The students bring in any homework or materials that they are studying and they have the entire class to work on these assignments. I am available to answer questions and help students with homework. We also have a Bryan College practicum student who comes and helps students with homework.
