Student Support Interventions

At AHS, we support the development of the whole student.  Some students are struggling with many obstacles that make it difficult for them to be successful.  Consequently, AHS has added several opportunities for students to receive additional support to help develop skills above and beyond the standard curriculum.  Here is a list of current support opportunities offered at AHS to assist our students:

Check-In, Check-Out (CICO) - CICO is a mentoring program where a student is assigned to a staff member with whom the student already has a connection.  The student will check in with that staff member daily to briefly discuss their progress. Additionally, students will receive a daily progress report from all of their teachers that will be taken home for a parent signature and returned to the students’ mentor the next day.  This program fosters a stronger, positive relationship between mentor and mentee while enhancing student accountability, behavior, and academic performance.

Life Skills - This is a small group class that focuses on developing the whole student.  Students develop skills in socializing, bullying intervention, and making healthy choices.  In addition, students learn how to resolve conflicts, manage their anger, and manage substance abuse issues.  This course is taught by a clinical counselor from the Desert Mountain SELPA. It does require a student to be removed from their regularly scheduled classes for at least one hour per week for 8-10 weeks.  There are certain criteria the student must meet to attend. AHS administration or counseling will determine student eligibility upon request.
