Academic Support

  • At Fremd High School, we strive to provide academic support to all students, both inside and outside the classroom in order to enhance student success. While students are always encouraged to seek assistance from their academic teacher, a variety of resources are available for students seeking additional supports. Most teachers have an electronic learning management system such as Schoology that allows students to keep updated about class assignments and expectations.

    Students are expected by both state and national policies to attain a certain level of achievement. Students who are not meeting or not on track to meet these standards may be assigned additional academic support to allow them to meet these standards.

    Counselor

    Students work with their counselor to develop a personal academic plan based on their career interests and post-secondary goals. The counselor can also recommend other academic supports based on individual students' needs.

    Tutoring

    Individual and small group tutoring in various subjects throughout the school day. Students are able to drop in for extra support as needed to ensure academic success. Students should ask their teacher for additional assistance or stop in the departmental offices to seek support in areas where regular tutors are not available. 

    Teachers in Math, Science and English are available throughout the school day in the Tutoring Center which is located in the Library. Tutoring is available Tuesday through Thursday until 4:00pm in the Tutoring Center.

    Media Center (Library)

    The Fremd High School Library is a great location in the school where students can come to study, do research, check out books, or use the many available technology resources. The Media Center also maintains an extensive listing of online research databases, available to students both on and off campus over the Internet. Students can also access hundreds of eBooks on their iPads and smartphones using District 211's Overdrive and Open Ebooks online libraries.  The media Center is open from 7:00am - 5:25pm Monday through Thursday. The media center closes at 3:25pm on Fridays.

    Test Make-Up

    Students have access to make up tests and quizzes in our test make up room from 7:00am - 4:00pm on all normal school days. Test Make-Up is located across from the Main Gym.

    Required Supports

    Students are expected by both state and national policies to attain a certain level of achievement, students who are not meeting or not on track to meet these standards may be assigned additional academic support to allow them to meet these standards.

    Problem Solving Team (PST)

    Each PST consists of an administrator, counselors, and a psychologist and/or social worker.  This team format provides an opportunity for staff to collaborate and to provide support for students in the areas of attendance, behavior, social-emotional, and academics.  Teams meet weekly to review data and identify necessary supports. For additional information on the Problem Solving Team process, please contact your student's counselor or administrator.
