Ideally there will be at least a teacher for each subject (ELA, Math, Sci, SS, LOTE, Tech/Computer Application and LSP/Executive Functioning) each day. If a student chooses to leave a breakout room, they will be encouraged to join another room if space is available. Students will sign up for HWC through a Form during the school day. This form will be available during Advisory through 2nd period. The Form will include the subjects and their available time slots (4:30 to 5:30 or 5:30 to 6:30). Students may sign up for either 4:30 or 5:30 or both if needed. Guidance counselors will be able to sign up additional students through 5th period. Students who do not sign up during the day or did not see their guidance counselor may enter the waiting room that afternoon, but admission will be based on availability.
