Omega 9G Team
Along with state of the art technology in each classroom, the 9th grade teachers in Omega house have created their own team to assist your student with the transition into high school. The team of core teachers in English, Math, Science and Social Studies see to it that the students are provided with a “safety shield” to assure that every single student experiences success and no one falls between the cracks. Each student is assigned a primary mentor to facilitate the learning process. Students have found that having one teacher they can go to if they need extra help in classes or assistance with a personal or behavioral issue to be very useful, as each mentor goes above and beyond to ensure achievement inside and outside of the classroom. A strategic focus is placed on academics, preparation for standardized testing and establishing the “team mentality”; we all work together for one common goal. After school tutoring is available to the 9G students four days a week along with FCAT Frenzy, Intensive remediation in all core subjects and weekly mentor meetings with each student.
