ROOM 225: A DOORWAY TO SUCCESS!
At Elliot Lake Secondary School, the success of every student is important. Needless to say, the first goal of every staff member at the school is to ensure that their students have the opportunity to succeed.
Sometimes, students need a little extra help to meet their goals. Starting in September, the Student Success Room will be Room 225 (the old ISP room). Mr. Young will have his office there, and there will also be a student work area and computers available.
Mr. J. Young is our Student Success Teacher (or SST). His main job is to assist every student, teacher, and parent to see that success is reached. Mr. Young co-ordinates and oversees a student's transition from Grade 8 to Grade 9 so that it is a smooth transition and a positive and productive experience.
Among his other duties are:
* to assist in the welcoming of new students
* helping organize events such as Grade 8 Open House, Grade 9 Parents Night, Grade 9 BBQ, Celebration of Excellence Dinner, Glad Grad Day
* meeting and workings with students who are having academic difficulties
( their parents are consulted and included in this process)
* working with the Guidance Department to create timetables that are tailored
to every student's needs
* monitoring the Credit Recovery Program
* monitoring the progress of at-risk students
* working with teachers and students to ensure that the after-school study program (Club 210) and the Agenda booklet are utilized to their maximum potential
* organizing the preparation for the Ontario Secondary School Literacy
Test
* assisting graduating students with future plans
If you would like meet with Mr. Young, you can:
* make an appointment at the Guidance Office to see him; he will be available almost any period, most days during the school week
* drop in to Room 225 before school or during breaks between classes
* check Room 225 during lunch - he will often be there
