At AGAPE, we meet our students where they are with their educational journey. We know that sometimes gaps in education are at a higher level for our student demographic due to the added factors of life our students have! AGAPE teachers and staff UNDERSTAND and WORK WITH our students to overcome past school experiences and/or current barriers to education. Communication is key at AGAPE and we know that families are a HUGE part in their student's success and we all strive to help your student achieve their goals! Here are some ideas for families:

• Families are always welcome to call AGAPE's main line to discuss any concerns (emotional, educational, medical, etc) and we will connect you to the best person to speak with at AGAPE.
• Our teacher's post grades regularly and your student's progress is always available in Campus Parent. If you need help logging in, call Angie Payne, AGAPE's clerk at 651-744-7970 or email angela.payne@spps.org.
• Have your student pull up Schoology and review their completed work with them and see if they need help prioritizing their uncompleted work!
• Help your student by providing some respite care of their child so they can complete their work.

We are here for you!
