Wolcott College Prep, Chicago

Today was the last day of school, and we ended it the best way we know how, together.
Students celebrated with make-your-own ice cream sundaes, and games. Congratulations to our students, faculty, and staff on a wonderful school year. Have a great summer!

LEARNING STRATEGIES: PREPARING SENIORS FOR COLLEGE
This quarter, Learning Strategies partnered with English IV Honors to give seniors a meaningful preview of how they will access accommodations in college. Through a simulated Learning Strategies Accessibility Center process, students practiced requesting accommodations, communicating with a professor, and following the steps needed to receive support on assessments. Seniors also participated in a Genio Learning Strategies pilot, comparing different note-taking approaches and reflecting on how their notes supported quiz preparation. Together, these experiences helped students build the self-advocacy, communication, and executive functioning skills they will need to take ownership of their learning in college.
