About

Students are placed in intervention for a variety of reasons, but I can support them in whatever way I can. 

 Please reach out to me if I can assist you or your child in ANY way. If you see your student falling behind significantly, feel free to reach out to guidance to learn more about my program and if there is space available during your child's PLT. 

      Overall, I think this program is a huge success, and I hope to continue that progress again this year. Students gained skills, confidence, points on their GPAs, and credits toward graduation. I gained a lot of knowledge about subjects I didn't know about (geometry especially!), how much students can grow when given opportunities, and how much I love being here at NKHS.

    Have a great year and reach out any time!

About

Positive Alternative to School Suspension, or PASS, is a program intended to provide a positive, structured learning experience for students who have violated the student code of conduct outlined in the student handbook. Students are assisted in completing academic work, engage in discussions that focus on identifying poor decisions and their consequences, and receive services for their social and emotional needs, if needed.
