SRA Institutes Academic Assistance Lab For Coming 2008-2009 School Year

    The administration and faculty of St. Rose Academy recognize that proper preparation for class and homework are vital parts of the academic process.  Parents and students should understand that this work includes not only worksheets, math problems and unit questions, but  also projects, essays, studying reading, reviewing, journaling, memorization, or other assignments.  Each of these activities can be a catalyst for student creativity and critical thinking.  Homework improves students’ organizational skills, which will, in turn, enable them to be successful in life.

     The SRA Academic Assistance Lab is held from 3:15 to 4:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays when necessary and dependent on teacher availability.  The Lab provides an academic atmosphere for students to complete homework assignments, and receive faculty assistance and input.  Any student may choose to stay after school to use the Academic Assistance Lab provided they have prior parental permission. 

    Students who are negligent in completing homework will be assigned to the Academic Assistance Lab in order to make up all missing work.  Parents will be notified that the student must report to the next scheduled Academic Assistance Lab to complete all missing homework or remedial work assigned.  Students must submit the completed work to the teacher monitoring the Lab by the end of that period, or report to the next lab in order to complete it.  Teachers will give credit for work completed.

    When a student is assigned to the Lab to complete missing work, attendance is mandatory, and takes precedence over athletics, club meetings, and other extra-curricular activities.  Unexcused absences from the lab will result in a discipline detention and a lab reassignment.  Parents are responsible for arranging transportation home from the lab;  students should be picked up no later than 4:20
