Program Description

Roc More Academy Interns is an innovative 6-week program designed to help five hundred current 9th year students bridge academic gaps while preparing for the workforce. Students may attend either morning or afternoon sessions, providing flexibility to meet their individual needs. This initiative targets current 9th graders who are off track to obtain five credits by the end of the year. Using data from cohort trackers, the program will intentionally identify and address key areas during the school year while providing added support during the summer. This approach aligns with the district’s Goal 1D and the Expanded Learning goals by addressing early warning systems, personalized academic support, and workforce readiness.
