REACH

Important Information

Friday's we run a modified schedule and the afternoon includes two 45 minute blocks of REACH time. We will take attendance during this time and all students will be expected to attend. The REACH afternoon will give students the opportunity to complete missing assignments, attend review sessions for upcoming exams or attend staff-led sessions that will afford them an opportunity for enrichment and extra practice in performance courses, such as Fine Arts, CTS and/or Physical Education. Students will also have opportunities to partake in subject area activities that are not in their current timetables.

Grade 9 & 10 Students
All students in grade 9 and 10 will be required to register for two REACH sessions each week and they must register for at least one Reach session with one of their core academic teachers. If grade 9 or 10 students are missing assignments or behind in their coursework, their teachers may assign them to a REACH session. Attendance will be taken for grade 9 & 10 students and parents/guardians will be notified if your student is not in class.

Grades 11 & 12 Students
Students in grades 11 & 12 will be responsible for managing their own REACH Friday afternoons. Students in these grades will be expected to be at school during this time. They  can choose one of the optional sections offered by teachers by going through the MBA Adaptive Schedule button on PowerSchool or by using the MBA Adaptive Schedule App. If students in grades 11 and 12 want to use the REACH Friday time to catch up on homework they can sign up to work in the cafeteria or learning commons, they can also get extra help from their teachers in classrooms. Students who are failing or missing assignments may be assigned to a REACH block by teachers and are required to attend. 

Parents can also log into PowerSchool and the MBA Adaptive Scheduler App and choose REACH Friday sections with their student and check which sections they attend. Instructions on how to do this can be found at the end of this document.

There are two methods for Students or Parents to assign themselves to REACH sessions.
Method 1 - PowerSchool through a WebBrowser
Method 2 - Mobile App.
