Arrowhead High School strives for success for every student. A variety of options exist for students that are not progressing in their coursework. Teachers, instructional assistants, and student tutors work one-on-one or in small groups to offer help on homework, test preparation, and organizational problems.
Tutoring - Throughout the school day, teachers are available to work with students during their study hall. The Counseling Office and the Library have a list of the class periods and locations to go for assistance. Students may volunteer or be assigned (based on grades) to this special tutoring study hall option.
Satellite Study Hall - Students that are not performing in the classroom will be assigned to a Satellite Study Hall. Teachers work with students to help them navigate the work they are expect to complete. Although the teacher may not teach the content, they assist students with how they may go about completing the work or finding the information they require.
NHS Student Tutor - The National Honor Society is available for one-on-one tutoring with students. The request form is located on the Arrowhead website (Activities, Clubs/Activities, National Honor Society). The students work together to find a common time to meet one or two times per week.
S.A.S.S. - Students Assisting Student Success is a new initiative at South and North Campus. This student lead math tutoring program focuses on clarifying concepts, building skills and asking questions about problems the student has worked on prior to coming to the tutoring area of the library.
R.T.I. – Response to Intervention opportunities are available for students in Organization, Reading, Writing, Motivation, and Decision-Making.
