Hampden Academy offers academic resources to support and challenge students in their academic endeavors. The following are a few of the academic resource programs offered at Hampden Academy:

ACADEMIC ADVISORY
The purpose of the Academic Advisory program is to ensure that each student at Hampden Academy has an adult, in addition to a guidance counselor, who will help monitor progress towards meeting academic, social and civic goals. Each student will be in a group of approximately 15 students with a teacher as the academic advisor. This group will stay together for four years, meeting weekly for a brief check-in and monthly for an extended meeting.

DROP-IN CENTER
The Drop-In center, located adjacent to the school cafeteria, is a place for students to relax and socialize during lunch. A school-linked counselor serves as a supervisor and mentor during Drop-In center hours. With the appropriate teacher pass, students may access the center during study halls.

H.A.R.T.
Comprised of faculty and staff members, the Hampden Academy Response Team (HART) is a student assistance team which provides students the support they may need to attain academic, vocational and/or personal growth goals. The HART team monitors student risk factors which include: failing grades, attendance issues, detentions and suspensions. A variety of services range from peer tutoring to support groups. Students may access the HART process through a self referral made in the guidance office.

HEALTH SERVICES
The school nurse is available at the health center for any student who is ill or wishes to seek health advice. Visits should be scheduled between classes or during study halls when possible. The parent/guardian will be contacted immediately concerning any serious injury or health problem. Any medications (prescription or non-prescription) brought to school must be kept in the health center. Student emergency information cards must be completed each year, signed by the parent/guardian, and kept on file in the health center.

RESOURCE OFFICER
To support Hampden Academy’s safe school efforts, a resource officer is on the staff. The resource officer is available for workshops, presentations, legal questions and students assistance. For more information or assistance, contact Mr. Dan Stewart at dstewart@sad22.us.

STUDENT TUTORING PROGRAM
The purpose of the Student Tutoring Program is to provide students with peer instruction in specific course content areas. Students may self refer or be referred by teachers, guidance counselors, or parents. Peer volunteers are recruited from the student body. Study students wishing to volunteer to tutor should see their guidance counselors.
