Academic Support

One of our focuses at Shadle Park High School is that EVERY student has the support and resources necessary to pass all of their classes. Consistent attendance, turning in assignments on time, and early communication with teachers are also KEY in the process of finding academic success.

Students who are struggling to find success in a class are encouraged to first talk with their teacher and set up a time to meet one-on-one for individual help. This helps to foster open communication and understanding between student and teacher. The sooner the teacher is aware of concerns, the faster he or she can provide support.

If a student continues to have difficulty finding success after connecting with their teacher, a meeting is set up with parent, student, teacher, counselor, and administrator to find out where the barriers are and come up with a plan moving forward.

Another resource is the Shadle Park High School H.E.L.P. Lab.  The H.E.L.P. lab is available (sign-up is required; no drop in) from 2:00-4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in the SPHS Library. An activity school bus is available for transportation home for students already registered with Durham through SPS busing. To sign up please contact your counselor, advisor, or the H.E.L.P. Lab Coordinator, Andrea Phifer at (509)354-6874.  SPHS Help Center Flyer

Credit Recovery

High School ICAN

The High School iCAN (Individual Credit Advancement Now) program provides online credit recovery opportunities for students at their home high school, using special web-based coursework developed by Spokane Virtual Learning (SVL).  iCAN classes help students meet their on-time graduation goals, and classroom times are scheduled at each SPS high school so students can be assisted in person and online.
