Students report to the Media Center immediately after school. There will be at least two North teachers to assist students on site.  Students may attend only on the days that additional support is needed and need to have work that needs to be completed.  Students must have a permission slip on file to attend.  Once students sign out of Academic Support they must leave the building.
