VVMS Academic Supports

• Student Planners: Students are given planners at the beginning of the year to keep track of their homework assignments. Student planners also contain valuable information like student expectations and school policies. If your student is having trouble remembering to complete or turn in assignments, check their planners regularly and encourage them to write down their homework assignments for each class every day. 
• Homelink: Many teachers regularly update student grades and record completed assignments on Homelink. Students and parents can sign in to get access to this online gradebook.
• Google Classroom: Many teachers post assignments, class notes, and more using Google Classroom.
• Online Textbooks: Some class subjects have online textbooks that include an audio option and/or links to explanations and helpful examples. 
• Help for Struggling Students: Crunch Time

• Teachers: Many classroom teachers routinely give suggestions about organization and study habits. Some also set aside time to work with students who need extra help. Contact your student's teacher early if you notice your student is struggling.

• School Counselors: School counselors meet with students individually or in groups to help them improve their organizational and study skills to meet their academic goals.

For help in any subject, attend Homework Club on Mondays and Thursdays from 2:15 to 3:15.  If students need to leave the Homework Club early, they need to have their parents go to the main office to pick up their students. Otherwise, the earliest that the students may leave is 3 pm. Students must leave the campus immediately after they leave the Homework Club rooms and not disturb the front office or any of the other classrooms.

Students are expected to work on their homework in their Homework Club rooms or to be reading. Game play, listening to music, or other non-academic activities will not be allowed and may result in disciplinary action.

Homework Club Rooms:

• 6th Grade: Room B7 with Ms. Ko
• 7th Grade: Room B6 with Ms. Newport
• 8th Grade: Room C3 with Mr. Jacobs
