How to get a bus pass - Targeted Intervention
- At the end of an intervention or tutorial session, teachers will walk students to the cafeteria to obtain a bus pass.
- If individual students leave a tutorial session prior to the teacher ending the session, the teacher will write the student a green hall pass to their next location. The teacher should explain that the green hall pass is not their bus pass.
Paid Targeted Intervention vs Mandatory 90 min Tutorials
- Tutorials and Paid Targeted Intervention are different
- After School Tutorials (90 min/wk) mandatory happened in the fall
- Paid After School Targeted Intervention (one day mandatory by department) happens in the Spring 3:00 - 4:30.
- Currently, you should be fully planning and implementing 90 min After School Targeted Intervention. (Mon - Biology, Tue - Algebra, Thur - ELA)
- There is no requirement to do both 90 min tutorials and 90 min Targeted Intervention in the Spring. Our focus in the Spring is 90 min Targeted Intervention which meets the 90 min weekly requirement.
- Individual teachers may have Spring Tutorials (2:35 - 3:00 Mon, Tue, Thur).
Updated Tardy Plan:
If students line up in the hallway before entering your class, thank you for making sure that they enter your room by the time the tardy bell rings. Students should not be lined up at your door after the tardy bell rings. We will then be able to clearly identify tardy students when we clear the halls.
Use the One-liners during transition
Saturday School Sign Up:
Here is the link to the Staff Sign-Up for Saturday Tutorials
After School & Saturday School Tutorials
Step 1: Student sign in on the Tutorial Sign In Sheet.
Step 2: The teacher adds each student to the Tutorial Tracking Link.
Step 3: The teacher files the Tutorial Sign In Sheet in a binder. Copies will be turned in each grading period.
Our goal is for 100% of staff to support Hospitality:
