Strategic Support

Strategic Support

Strategic Support is a program designed to help all students become successful. Tuesdays and Thursdays, students are enrolled in a section between 3rd and 4th period, which is matched to their academic needs: Academic Preparation, Tutorial or Link Crew. Strategic Support functions differently each quarter, so every student should be prepared to move and adjust their role:

Academic Prep: The Academic Prep period is where students with no Ds or Fs work independently and silently on the assignments of their choice.

Tutorial: The Tutorial period is where students with one or more D or F work with mentors and teachers on specific assignments. Non D or F students can be referred to Tutorial by a teacher or by a parent for additional help in any subject.

Link Crew: Link Crew helps integrate Freshman into Northgate through positive relationships and the creation of a more inclusive culture for all at Northgate.

FLEX THURSDAYS

On Thursdays, students and teachers have the flexibility to design opportunities for student learning or enrichment. Teachers can tag students into their classroom for flex Thursday to make up a test or assignment, or to benefit from a review, or students can select their space to attend based on their needs. This process is handled through MINGA every week, and students must select their Flex Thursday option by Tuesday night.
