Student Teacher Time (STT) offered after school daily
With our new eagle time schedule, students who need extra support have an opportunity to meet with their teachers after school from 2:40 p.m. - 3:10 p.m. each day. No advance appointment is required, students can drop in anytime after 10th period. Students can use this time to get help studying, make up a test, or ask teachers to review assignments. Students can also ask them questions about Schoology or grades.

In addition to meeting directly with course-specific teachers, students can also get support in the Math and Writing Centers and with free after school hours virtual tutoring options. Tutoring options are available for classes that are graduation requirements including English, Health, Math, Science and Social Studies. To request tutoring from a Leyden teacher in these subject areas, please fill out a Tutoring Request Form. Students who need help making an appointment for tutoring or for assistance with the Math and Writing Centers may contact any teacher or counselor.

Child Tax Credit is available to most families
We know it’s been a tough year for many families, including financially. We want to help connect you with the federal Child Tax Credit (CTC)—a cash benefit for kids--in hopes it will help ease some of the financial burden this fall and winter.
Sign up at GetCTC.org/strength by November 15 to receive your benefits.
With the new CTC eligibility opportunity, through December 2021, most families are eligible to receive monthly payments via direct deposit or checks in the mail. You can get up to $300 a month per child.
If you filed taxes in 2019 or 2020 or have already received stimulus payments, the IRS has your information and you don’t need to do anything – you are receiving this benefit automatically. If you didn’t file or you made little to no income, it isn’t too late to receive payments! This includes payments you’ve already missed from previous months.
For more information about who is eligible and what is needed to sign up, visit NoKidHungry.org/GetCTC.
