If they are having trouble they may attend my advisory for direct assistance.  Keeping track of meetings and deadlines is also an invaluable lesson for students to practice. 

There is enrollment each semester and all are welcome to attend to get more information to see if they qualify. Don't miss a chance to be a part of CSF a tradition at San Rafael High School since 1924!
