Dear ORHS Students and Families,

Beginning Wednesday, January 13th, we will resume our Midweek Academic Intervention (MAI) program at ORHS.  MAI is from 8:00 a.m. to noon each Wednesday.  For now, in order to maintain a safe learning environment, only students who meet certain criteria should attend MAI.

 

Midweek Academic Intervention

  • When: Each Wednesday 8:00 a.m. to noon
  • Who: Students who earned a grade of 50 or below in a class for Term 2 and students who received an “Incomplete” for Term 2.  Final averages are available via Skyward.
  • What: Students will be grouped into classrooms where they will be assigned an Academic Coach to assist them in making a plan of action to improve their Term 2 grades.  Academic Coaches will then help students stay motivated and complete their missing assignments.  Students will have until midterm of Term 3 (Friday, February 5) to repair their Term 2 grades.

If you do not meet the current criteria for MAI, please know that individual teachers are available for office hours on Wednesdays, and many teachers hold separate tutoring sessions in person or on Zoom on those days, as well.  Please contact your child’s teachers if you would like to request a meeting on a Wednesday.

If you have questions about MAI, please contact Mrs. Roberts at ahroberts@ortn.edu
