INSTRUCTION

Just-in-Time Tutoring
Just-in-time tutoring provides students in grades 6-12 with an immediate online live tutor 24 hours per day/7 days per week. If a student is struggling with independent work, they can get immediate help to get them “unstuck,” even if they are at home late at night.
In addition to covering multiple subjects, just-in-time tutoring provides online help via chat and voice. Tutor.com also provides paper proofreading (12-hour turnaround time) and industry-leading Princeton Review ACT/SAT prep courses and materials.
An information flyer will be sent home with students this week: https://www.rcps.us/justintime

No Bake Bake Sale
A bit of news we have today….
A NO BAKE, Bake sale is on the way!
In these busy days, who wants to bake,
A pie, or cookies, or even a cake?
You’d be surprised if you counted the cost,
Of ingredients, heat, and the time you’ve lost.
Baking for sales is extra work,
Yet nobody really wants to shirk.
So we’ve thought of a plan that’s really grand,
And feel quite sure you’ll understand.
In a donation, please include the price,
Of a pie or cake, or anything nice!
Without fuss or bother, you’ve done your part,
We hope you’ll give with a willing heart.
Wishing HVMS success for our NO BAKE Bake Sale,
This is the end of our little tale!
All donations will be used to support the HVMS Parent Teacher Student Organization’s purpose is to strengthen, enhance, and encourage the educational and social environment at HVMS.
Donations can be made through the following link starting tomorrow through the end of February: https://hvms-no-bake-bake-sale.cheddarup.com
