Parents who think that their student might benefit from being in STRIVE should first contact the student's current teacher with the request. The process begins by the teacher recommending that a student be enrolled in STRIVE. The student's teachers have the best knowledge of what the student needs to do to become successful in the class. Teacher contact information is available under school information and then staff directory. Information can also be found through the specific academic department page.
