Note Taking Tips & Study Skills

The forms below outline strategies to strength these skills & are applicable to high school students of all levels.

Student Athletes

SHARP: Student Help and Remediation Program

  • Only core classes (math, English, science, and social studies) are considered throughout the whole process unless an athlete does not have a full course load. In those situations, an athlete must be passing at least 4 courses to remain eligible.
  • Sharp only applies to athletics.
  • Grades are pulled every Thursday at the end of the day by the Sharp Coordinator once the quarter has been in effect for at least 15 days.
  • Athletes are notified via email on Friday or Monday if they are on Sharp.
  • Coaches are notified via email on Thursday or Friday if their athletes are on Sharp.
  • Parents are notified via email on Thursday or Friday if their son/daughter is on Sharp.
  • Once on the list, athletes cannot come off until the following Thursday unless a teacher error occurred.

If an athlete is failing one subject: The student is still eligible as long as it is not for four straight weeks. If this failing grade persists for four straight weeks or is a final quarter grade, the student becomes ineligible.

If an athlete is failing two subjects: This student is ineligible to practice or play effective Monday through Sunday. The student will not become eligible until the course grades are a “D” or higher in at least one subject on the following Thursday grade check.

End of Quarter Procedures:

If an athlete is failing a core course at the end of a quarter, the athlete becomes ineligible effective Monday through Sunday. This is true even if the student was not failing the course at any point during the quarter.

If you have questions regarding the SHARP program, please contact Mr. Sussman.
