Weekly Tutorial

Kimberley Cowell, Assistant Principal Guidance Department

The Guidance Department will continue the regular weekly Tutorial period on Tuesdays from 2:10 to 3:10 pm. Tutorial period provides an hour-long opportunity for students to meet with teachers should they need help in specific subjects. (Most teachers will also be available in their rooms/offices to meet with students who drop in for help). Teachers may direct students who need help to attend Tutorial, and they expect those students to show up! No sports practices, rehearsals or other activities are scheduled to start on Tuesdays until after the Tutorial period, so there are no obstacles to attending Tutorial. For our freshmen, Tutorial time is a great way to introduce yourself to your teachers and help them get to know you better. And parents! If you hear your student say s/he needs help or does not understand something or that s/he needs assistance in preparing for tests or quizzes, please remind him or her about Tutorial. Some Tuesday Tutorial periods during the year will be used for assemblies, attendance at which is mandatory for all students. Any assemblies will be scheduled to take place on the first Tuesday of each month. It is very important that students do not get jobs, schedule dental or doctor appointments or commit themselves to outside activities until after 3:10 pm on Tuesdays. Tuesdays should be considered full school days for ALL students.
Tutoring is also available, free of charge, through the Academic Center for students who would like help in any subject. Alex Lira, our AC Supervisor, will help you find a tutor. Stop by and let him know how he can assist you.
