Math Tutoring Available

For 8th grade Math students who have Mr. Gear, Mrs. Larrabee, and Ms. Snipes


As we head into quarter 4 of the school year students will be participating in NWEA and ILEARN testing as well as completing normal school assignments. We have decided, as a math department, to better help prepare and support our students we will host weekly help/review sessions each and every Friday morning starting at 8:30. These are for any 8th grade math students wishing to participate. Students from any of the three math teachers may attend.


Students wishing to attend should be dropped off at 8:30 door 6 in the back parking lot where the busses drop students off in the mornings. I will meet them there and escort them to my room for the work time. We will cover all material from that week more in depth and answer any questions students might have.


Please let me know if you have any questions at mgear@hsk.k12.in.us. I am looking forward to finishing this year strong and happy to help those interested achieve success.
