ZAP Program

At St. George School, we believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and we are committed to helping them stay on track with their learning. The ZAP (Zeroes Aren’t Permitted) Program provides a structured, supportive environment where students in grades 3-8 can complete missing assignments, ensuring they stay engaged and make steady progress.

Why ZAP?

Completing assignments on time is an important part of developing responsibility, reinforcing classroom learning, and maintaining strong academic performance. By providing students with dedicated time to complete their work, ZAP helps them build good study habits and take ownership of their education.

How It Works

• If a student has missing work, they may be assigned to the ZAP after-school study hall.
• Students attend ZAP from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, where they have a quiet space to focus and complete assignments.
• While in study hall, students are expected to work on their assignments or read if they finish early.
• Assignments submitted one day late will receive 75% credit, while those submitted later receive 50% credit.

Support & Accountability

Students may attend ZAP up to two times per trimester at no charge. After that, a small fee of $5 per session applies. Parents are notified when their child is assigned to ZAP, and students are encouraged to take an active role in communicating their progress.

Through the ZAP program, we reinforce the values of responsibility, perseverance, and academic excellence—helping students develop the skills they need for success in school and beyond.
