Students: How to use Student Support�2023-24

What Can I Use It For?

Our Mission: THE WHY?

Student Support provides every Monte Vista student with extended academic instruction, social emotional and counseling support, guided group activities, and time to start or complete student work.

​

You have the freedom to choose how you want to

use Student Support AND you have the responsibility

to use it wisely.

What Can I use Student Support For?

Overall, Student Support is to be used for…

• Make-up work
• Extended instruction
• Additional practice and learning�

Other opportunities:

• Student meetings
• Student activities
• Student group work
• Speak to your counselor
• Visit the Wellness Center

How Do I Choose?

Be aware of your own needs

• Were you absent and need to make something up?
• Are you struggling with a concept or skill?
• Are you really interested in a class topic and want to know more?
• Do you have a group project for a class?
• Do you need a silent place to study, read, or do your work?
• Do you want to go to the Wellness Center or see your Counselor?
• Does your club have a meeting?
• Do you want to talk anime with the teacher who is as obsessed as you are?
• Is Leadership hosting an activity?

…OR…

Do I Always Choose?

NO

​

A teacher or other staff member may choose for you

• Because sometimes we ignore the choices that help us the most…(missing assignments, low test scores, etc.)
• If this happens, you will see a notification in Infinite Campus that you have been requested. PLEASE BE SURE TO ALWAYS CHECK INFINITE CAMPUS APP �

A full-school community event may also be scheduled (fire drills, rallies, Mustang Moments, etc.) during Student Support.

ATTENDANCE

Scan your school ID card (or a photo on your phone)

​

A student MUST check into a classroom It is YOUR responsibility to scan in (even if you return to 2nd period). Failure to do so will result in a cut (unexcused absence). Accumulation of tardies and/or cuts will result in detention(s).�

Marked absent incorrectly?

• Have the teacher you were with verify your presence by digitally submitting this Attendance Correction Form. (Must be done within 2 school days)

Tell Me About Make Up Work

• Missed in-class assignments
• Presentations
• Demonstrations�
• Missed labs
• Missed quizzes/tests

​

Ideally, this will eliminate need for lunchtime make-ups.

Tell Me About Extended Learning

• Re-teaching a specific skill or topic to a group of students
• Small group support
• Further opportunities for review
• Further opportunities to practice
• Further opportunities to dive deeper and elaborate

How Do I Know What is Offered?

• Teachers will communicate their plans in class
• Infinite Campus App
• Verbally
• On the board
• On Schoology (maybe - depending on your teacher)�
• For campus-wide activities and/or clubs…
• Teachers will share
• Look in the Daily Bulletin
• Check school/club social media accounts
• Students need to responsively schedule themselves to attend these meetings!

How Students Sign Up for Student Support

If teachers need you to attend Student Support: they will assign you to their class beforehand (you can see this in IC).

If you are NOT assigned by a teacher for Wednesday: you have all day on Monday until 11:59 pm to sign up for Wednesday.

If you are NOT assigned by a teacher for Friday: you have all day on Wednesday until 11:59 pm to sign up for Friday.

​

If you do not sign up in advance, you will be assigned to a class/study hall. Check IC to see where you are expected to sign in for Student Support

Steps to sign up in Infinite Campus

​

​

​

• Students need to open the Infinite Campus app on their phones.

​

• On the menu, there is a choice called “Responsive Schedule.” It is directly below “Schedule.”

​

• Click on “Responsive Schedule” and you will see if a teacher has already requested you. It will say “A Teacher or Administrator made a selection on your behalf”. If you have not been requested, you will scroll down to see which teacher has available seats and make your selection.

​

• Here is a short video/tutorial to show how students can schedule themselves for Responsive Scheduling.

​

​

So, When Is This All Happening?

DETENTION:�Why do I have detention?

• Students will receive a 30 minute detention for every 5 TARDIES.
• Students will receive a 30 minute detention for every CUT / truancy.

Where Can / Can’t I go During the School Day (Including Lunch)?

MV is a closed campus- meaning students MAY NOT LEAVE campus or go to the parking lots during the school day without signing out in the Attendance Office.�

• Can I go to the Taco Truck or Oak Hill Park? NO
• Can I go sit in my car? NO (Plus..running your AC while idling your car is bad for the environment.)
• Can I move my car? NO
• Can I get something I left in my car? NO. Your car is not a locker. If you need a locker, please go to the Attendance Office.
• Students may have their parking permits revoked and / or face disciplinary consequences if they fail to follow these rules.�

So now you know…(again!)

Other Boundaries to Remember During Lunch

LOOK AT THE MAP!

No students may be on the fields, bleachers, baseball field, on the roads/ramps behind the Commons/900 building.

​

WHY?

For safety- We need students in supervised locations during lunch.

​

WHERE CAN I GO? SEE MAP: ANYWHERE IN THE YELLOW BOUNDARY LINE

• Commons (inside/outside)
• Amphitheater
• Upper and lower quads
• WSC

WANDERING…�What if I do not have class 6th/7th/1st?

• Please stay in class for the entirety of the class period. There are no early dismissals to get to the parking lot or the lunch line early.
• If you need to use the restroom, you must sign in and out of your class.
• If you do not have a class at the beginning or end of the day, and are on campus, you must be in a supervised location. You must go to the INSIDE the WSC for a study hall if you are not leaving campus.

Get a STICKER on your student ID in the COUNSELING Office:

REMINDER !

​

​

​

When a community member visits our campus, what impression do we want to

make?

We can start by picking up trash, even if it’s not our own.
