Program structure and instructors

Program Structure

• Students will be provided with a structured, quiet environment.
• Students will be responsible for keeping up with their assignments by checking both Skyward and Moodle before starting their work. 
• Students will be encouraged to set daily goals for the completion of their homework. 
• Students will be away from all distracting stimuli (electronics) while completing their homework.
• Students will be provided with feedback about the timely completion of their work and will be expected to communicate their questions with the instructor. 
• Students will be encouraged to develop frequent communication with their classroom teachers via email and Moodle.
• LEP is not an individualized one-on-one session.
• LEP aims at helping students with questions they may have and guide them in the right direction so as to help the student complete their homework.
• LEP instructors do not complete homework for students but provide assistance in the aim of motivating students to work.

Program Instructors

The Program Instructors will provide homework support in the following ways:

• Assist students in understanding instructions if needed. If students do not understand the directions correctly, instructors will repeat them by breaking them down into step-by-step procedures.
• Identify and work on areas of weaknesses and if needed, communicate with the homeroom teacher.
• Improve students’ time management by giving them one task to complete at a time and introducing the next task, only when students have successfully completed the previous task. 
• Encourage students to look at all available resources on Moodle so as to assist in the completion of work.

Log Notes

The Program Instructors will provide updates to parents via log notes that will be shared at the end of each session which provides parents with a brief description of the work covered in LEP and/or remaining work to be done at home. 

Note

• Please note that the Learning Commons reserves the right not to offer a session if the Program does not reach the minimum required number of students or if there’s no instructor. 
• Students who do not have a spot will be placed on a waiting list. Parents will be notified once a spot becomes available.

Program eligibility requirements

New Students:

• Students may be recommended or required to attend the After School Homework Support Program based on their Admissions’ file and their corresponding documents from previous institutions.
• This program is open to all students who wish to receive homework  assistance and guidance from an ACS Athens faculty member in a supervised setting.

Returning Students:

• Parent-initiated enrollment is an option for students who need homework assistance. Students benefit by developing and enhancing highly desirable qualities such as responsibility, perseverance, and time management.
• Students on academic probation and students who perform poorly are automatically informed about the After School Homework Support Program and may enroll throughout the year.
• Faculty can also refer students to the Child Study Team for screening, evaluation, and possible enrollment in the After School Homework Support Program.

Absences

In the event of an absence, we kindly ask parents/guardians to email the program’s Coordinator. This allows the instructor to start on time and prevents us from looking for students on campus.
Coordinator, Ms. Sophia Pappas at pappass@acs.gr.

If 1/2 of the students in the class are absent, students may be merged with other groups.

Protocol

SKYWARD ARENA OPENING: 

• Parents submit their enrollment request by logging into Skyward once the announcement is made for the opening of the Semester; they choose their activity.
• Admission to LEP is confirmed after it’s been processed and confirmed by the Coordinator by email: only then will the student be considered enrolled in the program.

SKYWARD ARENA CLOSING:

• Enrollment through Skyward will not be possible if there are no more seats available for the activity and/or after the day of the Arena Closing.
• If no more seats are available, contact the Coordinator.
• The Learning Commons cannot reserve seats on the basis that a student attended previous semester(s).
• Those who missed the enrollment deadlines may email the Coordinator so that the student’s name may be put on a waiting list.

• If enrollment does not reach the minimum number of students required for the LEP Program to run, it will be canceled, the parents will be notified and pre-paid fees will be reimbursed.
• If a parent has prepaid the entire session, credit will be given only if the student has not attended more than 50% of the total session.
