• AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING

    NO TUTORING ON MONDAYS & FRIDAYS!

    Objective of Program:

    Our After School Tutoring is designed as a grade recovery program. Any student with two or more failures in any class will be required to attend on a weekly basis, for the entire week except MONDAYS & FRIDAYS.  The mandatory tutoring will help eliminate failures and help students get back on track and maintain academic success.  Students will have opportunities to improve their grade and learn missed material by completing appropriate missing assignments, by completing additional assignments that review classroom material (this is not extra credit but a chance to repair and to extend learning), and/or by retaking tests (first grade AND the retake grade will be averaged).                                                          

    The After School Tutoring program will also be available to students who wish to attend on a voluntary basis.

    Rules and Procedures:

    Students should have already visited their locker and be seated in the computer lab by 2:35 p.m. then:

    1.      Log on to MMS for tutors to review their grades/assignments owed. 

    2.      Be prepared with any missing assignments that they have requested from their teacher(s) during their “free time” (ie...7:20-7:30, or at the end of the day on their way to tutoring). Work will not be provided by the tutors.  The tutors are there to assist the students. 

    3.      Students may turn in work to the tutor on site for that day.  The work will then be distributed to the appropriate teachers for grading.  If a student does not turn in work, they are expected to give it to the appropriate teacher the next day.  Any test or quizzes taken in tutoring MUST be turned in to the tutors and cannot be taken outside the room.

    Attendance in After School Tutoring:

    Attendance will be taken each day.  If a student does not show up, consequences will be assigned.
