Academic Support

During Base Camp, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, teachers can create Responsive Scheduling help sessions and schedule students on those days to go directly to that teacher’s class during Base Camp.

• Responsive scheduling is a feature in Infinite Campus that allows teachers to assign students to help sessions offered during Base Camp on Access days (T/W/R).
• Teachers may schedule students for help sessions for a variety of reasons, including additional help, make-up work, assessments, skills groups, school service work, etc.
• Students will check their schedules each day to see where they go during Base Camp on a help session day.  They will go directly to that teacher for Base Camp that day instead of their Base Camp teacher.
  • Students are expected to attend the responsive scheduling teachers have scheduled. If they do not, they will have an unexcused absence.
  • If a student needs more time with a teacher, they should advocate to their teacher to get extra help and be scheduled for Base Camp.

Academic support provides more instruction in grade-level core classes. The content depends on a student’s abilities and diagnosed reading, writing, or math deficits. Support courses replace an elective in the student's schedule.

Mountain Guides is a mentoring program for incoming Deer Creek sixth graders. Eighth-grade students and counselors welcome and help them acclimate to middle school. Trained mountain guides lead activities for sixth graders during Base Camp every other week. They also work one-on-one with students to help with organization and study skills. Mentors help with fifth-grade visits, sixth-grade orientation and school service projects.
