SAT Preparation

Any student in grades 10 - 12 is eligible to sign-up for the free SAT Prep Course through our Cyber Academy. Students take a Pre-test in the various areas of Math, Reading as well as Writing and Language Arts. The Program then focuses on the skills they need to work on. It then gives them a tutorial on that area and practice tests to strengthen their skills. It is very individualized and self-paced. Students looking to improve their SAT scores should take advantage of this opportunity. We also offer an in class SAT Prep course that syncs students' 10th grade PSAT score with Khan Academy to provide individualized practice problems. See Mrs. McKinley, Lab 405 or Mrs. Anderson, Guidance for details.

STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The Brockway Pennsylvania Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a systematic team process used to mobilize school resources to remove barriers to learning. SAP is designed to assist in identifying issues including alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and mental health issues which pose a barrier to a student’s success. The primary goal of the Student Assistance Program is to help students overcome these barriers so that they may achieve, advance, and remain in school. While Student Assistance Programs exist in other areas of the country, the structure and operation of the program in Pennsylvania is a unique expression of an integrated model serving the needs of Brockway families and students.

The core of the Student Assistance Program is a professionally trained team, including school staff and liaisons from community drug and alcohol and mental health agencies. SAP team members are trained to identify issues, determine whether or not the presenting issue lies within the responsibility of the school, and to make recommendations to assist the student and the parent. When the issue lies beyond the scope of the school, the SAP team will assist the parent and student so they may access services within the community. SAP team members do not diagnose, treat or refer to treatment; but they may refer a student to a liaison who may screen or assess for further community based services and support. Please contact Mrs. Donlin at the High School for more information.
