Monday & Tuesday After-School Tutorials
If your child was involved in after-school tutorials during the fall semester, these tutorials are still meeting weekly on Monday & Tuesday from 4:15 p.m.-5:15 p.m. This is part of House Bill 4545. Students are required to receive an additional thirty or sixty hours of instruction in the areas of reading and/or math if they did not meet expectations or did not take the state assessment in spring 2021. Weekly tutorials will continue until further notice. You will be notified if/when your student no longer needs to stay after school. A call-out reminder is also scheduled to be sent to participating students. If you have any questions, you may contact your child's teacher.
