HUB is a time period after school for students to get extra help or to finish missing or incomplete assignments.

Teachers will ask students to join HUB for those who haven’t attended a class during the school day or if they need additional assistance for a task. Students should view HUB as an advantage, whether they are required to attend or not, HUB is always there as a resource for students.

I personally believe that students should take the initiative to use HUB as much as possible. Students should encourage other students to go to HUB as well. This is the best time for students to ask questions, get additional support, and to finish work when students are absent. Some students might only use 10 minutes of the full hour that HUB supplies or any given amount of time that a student might use.

Many students are not utilizing HUB after school as it is intended. I feel that students that need the help should take the time to attend HUB after school. Students should take the extra steps to put in effort and prioritize all of their missing assignments when they need the extra guidance. Some students are given many opportunities to finish their assignments and they have a great resource, such as HUB time. 

Going to HUB is much more efficient than sending an email to a teacher and receiving a vague answer or waiting to receive one. By going to HUB, it’s much more time efficient for a student to ask a question and obtain a clear, immediate response to a student’s question. 

HUB time can alternatively be used as a time to schedule appointments with the wellness department and get personal support. This is very important, especially during quarantine, as students have been unable to socialize with their friends in person. Now, many feel they need someone else to talk to, so utilizing the wellness department during HUB is a great option. 

Students should use HUB because it is beneficial for a student’s academics, as well as their mental or emotional health, should they need that boost of help.
