Tutoring availabe!
Did you know that SCMS teachers are offering free tutoring? Teachers are currently available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons from 3:15-4:15. Students should report to Room 407 right after school. There are activity buses that will bring your student home; the buses leave at 4:30.
Tutoring schedules can be more flexible as well if arrangements are made in advance. Some teachers may be available virtually before school or even on some evenings. This program is a part of MCPS’s comprehensive strategies to mitigate learning disruption. Every 8-9 weeks tutoring sessions will be evaluated, and the program is intended to last the entire school year. Please contact Dr. Okun okunmatt@mcpsmd.org with any questions.
