Homework Assignments

Universal Access or PACK

"The PACK period adds an extended instructional period to the school day by where students are grouped based on standardized data, district assessments, common formative assessments, and classroom performance. 

All students are grouped by academic target areas for PACK classes. PACK classes are designed to meet the unique academic needs of students by offering multiple levels of differentiated flexible classes.  PACK class changes may occur throughout the year as student levels of performance are realigned with the PACK class that provides the best support. 

PACK academic support and instructional practices are developed with close attention to the needs of adolescent learners, district expectations, state frameworks, and current research.  State data, local and site assessments, and classroom performance assist our staff in not only identifying students who need additional academic support for achieving proficiency, but also in the design, implementation, and monitoring of instruction for them."
