HF-L CSD Partners with Paper

The Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District is happy to continue its partnership with Paper, a digital tutoring service. This service is available to all HF-L students in grades 4-12 and will provide free, unlimited access to virtual tutoring sessions. These sessions are 1:1 and are available 24 hours a day. Students can access this using their ClassLink portal.


Using Paper, students get homework help, writing feedback, and study support on demand. Teachers gain insights into learning gaps. Administrators have visibility into where support is needed.


*NEW UPDATE:


Voice Notes—a new accessibility-minded offering from Paper—is now available for all Paper users!


How does it work?


Voice Notes allows both students and tutors alike to record and send audio messages during Live Help sessions.

Sending a Voice Note in a Live Help session is simple for students: Learners simply select the microphone icon in the chat bar to send a verbal question or response. Before sending the message, they can listen back to their note at a playback speed of their choice. Voice Notes messages sent to them from tutors can also be played back, and students can see a transcription of tutors’ messages.


Which students benefit from this feature?


Paper’s Voice Notes feature will be particularly helpful for students who are actively improving their reading and writing. However, these kinds of learners can benefit as well:

  • English-language learners or those who struggle with writing might find it easier to chat with a tutor via Voice Notes.

  • Students who prefer to use iPads or their mobile devices to learn—or only have these tools available outside of school—can opt to send Voice Notes rather than typing out longer questions.

  • Voice Notes are helpful for students who prefer “talking it out,” or articulating their thoughts verbally.

Community Conversation Around Mental Health

Community Conversation Around Mental Health

On Tuesday, May 23 at 7pm at the Middle School Maker Space (room 209) the HF-L- Mendon Kiwanis Club is hosting a Community Conversation around Mental Health. This conversation will be directed by Jerard Johnson and his staff at the URMC Golisano Children's Hospital Pediatric Mental Health and Wellness Programs. The hope is to bring a sense of understanding around Mental Health awareness, during this Mental Health awareness month. Open the lines of communications between the families and the programs available, as well as the school district. The more the kids know there is help available and the more people who know the signs of those struggling with mental health the more we can help reduce the number of deaths due to mental health struggles. We want the message to be that we care, there is help available, and that it is okay to ask for help.
