SPECIALTY CLASS: FRESHMAN SEMINAR
Students practice the note-taking, time management, study habits, and social-emotional awareness they will need across five broad areas to be successful in high school:
Themes: Academics, Community, Social-Emotional, Climate, and College and Career Readiness.
This course is offered to give students experience working with faculty and classmates in a small community where writing, communication and critical thinking skills are key. These skills will be developed, practiced, and improved for high school success and to keep students ON TRACK.
Freshman Seminar will use the Remind.Com app as a password-protected and teacher-monitored social media outlet for freshman students. With teacher permissions, students can post videos, projects, and messages for their classmates, parents and teachers in the Freshman Academy. This will serve as an integral part of Freshman Seminar as students utilize skills learned in Class.
