Academic Resources Cheverus has a full gamut of information and technology resources for students through library services, a makerspace, and two computer labs. Teachers are regularly available for consultations after school and or before school. Our librarian and technology specialists can help students with special projects. While all students are expected to bring their own devices, students can also check out Chromebooks from the library.
Library Resources The library is located on the far end of the main building and is a physical place where students can conduct their research or complete assignments. It is also a virtual space in which a variety of research tools are available to students such as Factson File, GaleV irtual Library, MARV EL, and OpposingV iewpoints databases. Tucked away in the corner is also a chess table frequented by students during an unscheduled period. Exercise your brain by trying to solve the librarian?s ever-changing puzzle found on the book clock.
Faber Tutoring Center The Faber Tutoring Service is named after Peter Faber, a co-founder of the Society of Jesus who first met Ignatius Loyola at the University of Paris in 1529. They had been assigned as roommates. Although 15 years younger than Ignatius, Faber served as a tutor for Ignatius when Ignatius struggled to master the content of a course. At Cheverus, students have access to this on-site, fee-based tutoring service which can be scheduled at the convenience of the student. Our Faber Tutors can help students in our core academic subjects in individual or small group sessions.
FERPA The school abides by the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children?s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. ?Parent? means a parent of a student and includes a natural parent, a guardian, or an individual acting as a parent in the absence of a parent or a guardian. An educational agency or institution shall give full rights under the Act to either parent, unless the agency or institution has been provided with evidence that there is a court order, State statute, or legally binding document relating to such matters as divorce, separation, or custody, that specifically revokes these rights. A copy of such legal document should be given to the student?s guidance counselor and will kept in the student?s permanent record.
