What is ICU?
ICU is a philosophy being implemented at the Annandale Middle School during the 2014-15 school year. It is a research-based system that gives students extra time or help with assignments if they start to fall behind in their academic work or need extra assistance.
ICU stands for "intensive care unit" for student achievement and grades. It provides students with the necessary supports to get their work completed. It is not a punitive measure or punishment, rather an opportunity to provide more individualized support so that all students at AMS can achieve to the best of their ability.
School staff will be available to assist students who have incomplete assignments before or after school and during lunch. Students who have missing or incomplete work will be assigned to the "ICU" room during designated times so that they can get the help they need to get these assignments completed.
Ultimately, every student wants to be successful at school and sometimes it just takes a little extra time and support to get there. The ICU philosophy can help students boost their achievement and grades, while building self-esteem and confidence in their abilities.
