favente deo supero — “to help those down to conquer”

Christopher mitchell

The school computer labs are open every afternoon until 4 PM (when the last late bus departs), during lunch hours and open study periods.  I will also accommodate the needs of a particular situation.  If your student does not have a computer, we will work around it. 

Until the school is certain that we can protect the privacy of your student’s records, grades will not be available for review online.  Progress reports are sent every six weeks from the start of the semester.

TurnItIn.com is a teacher resource, not only for the prevention of plagiarism, but also for determining how much of a paper is quoted.  There is a 25% limit on quoted material in all essays and term papers.  This protects the student as much as the school’s honor code.

Parent’s questions and answers

The semester is carefully planned to make room for the amount of work involved.  Do not worry, the assignments are spread out throughout the semester so the term paper almost writes itself.  As long as the student keeps up their end of the deal, they should have no problems. 

Isn’t this too much work for a student to do in a single semester?

Is it fair to use turnitin.com? My child doesn’t cheat!

Why can’t I check my students grades online?

We don’t have a computer at home, how will my student complete the assignments.

By signing up for the email newsletter (can be mailed upon request) you will receive a monthly emailed version of the class newsletter that details pending assignments, due dates, relevant historical content for the month, and occasional mindless minutia. 

How do I keep up to date with what is going on in my students’ class?
