A logo for the Bainbridge High School Student Support Center, featuring a Spartan helmet and the words 'Student Support Center' in bold, blue lettering.

The Spartan Student Support Center is a place where students can get support in a variety of ways.

Some uses of the space are:

  • Students with Section 504 Plans have accommodations that are carried out in the Support Center Space.
  • Students make up a test or a quiz either during their class time or during Makeup Monday on Early Release days.
  • Students who need a calm and quiet space to regroup or get work done.
  • ELL (English Language Learning) students come for help with English language support that’s different from the standard English class at BHS..
  • Students who need help with Executive Functioning Skills can come to get help with organization, prioritization and/or time management. ….and a whole lot more!

  • Sometimes a student…

    • has been absent and needs a place to catch up on their work.
    • wants or needs a quiet space to get their work done or take a test/quiz.
    • needs a place to go when things just become “too much”
    • needs help breaking up a project into smaller, more manageable, parts.
    • wants assistance with staying organized and/or productive.
    • needs to talk-out a project/assignment either while creating it or recording it and doesn’t want to disrupt their general class.
