Academic Help
If you need help, contact your ACCESS teacher. Your ACCESS teachers will post their contact information in the Materials section under Teacher Introduction. Use the Schoology Messages to let them know you need help. If your teachers have office hours, use them to ask your questions. Your ACCESS teachers’ job is to help you succeed.
When you reach out to your teachers, tell them what you need help with. Be as specific as possible. Include which lessons and what concepts, problems, or examples are challenging you.
You can also ask your facilitators or counselors for help. They may be able to refer you to school services, such as tutoring or peer mentors.
