What is BGA?
- BGA is an academic advisory opportunity for everyone. We will meet once a week for 45 minutes each Wednesday. BGA teachers will be there to monitor your grades, ensure you are completing missing assignments, and check your attendance.
- During that time you are expected to work on missing assignments, complete homework, attend assigned tutoring (in math or science), make up tests/quizzes (with appropriate pass), and read silently.
- This is NOT a time to catch up on social media. Cell phones are prohibited during BGA.
Expectations
- Respect : Respect yourself, classmates, teachers, classroom property, and the classroom environment.
- Productivity: Focus on assignments, complete homework and make-up work.
- Responsibility: Be a responsible scholar at all times. Come to class prepared (with pencil, paper and the right attitude). Follow classroom expectations.
- Punctuality: Be on time.
Consequences
- “D” grades hurt GPAs and put you in jeopardy of failing
- “F” grades will cause you to lose credits needed for graduation
- Low grades/GPA jeopardize eligibility
- Mandatory lunch tutoring
- Parent contact
- Content teacher contact
- Administration contact
- Procrastination and lack of work completion can have detrimental mental health consequences.
