Tutoring

“High-performing schools and school systems set high expectations for what each and every child should achieve, and then monitor performance against the expectations, intervening whenever they are not met… The very best systems intervene at the level of the individual student, developing processes and structures within schools that are able to identify whenever a student is starting to fall behind, and then intervening to improve that child’s performance.” - Barber & Mourshed, 2007

Targeted Tutoring

Our full-time paraprofessional tutors partner with teachers to identify students whose formative assessment data indicate they are not proficient or approaching proficiency on essential learning targets. Tutors support these students through one-on-one or small-group sessions using study halls, teacher’s aide positions, and attendance waivers. They are also occasionally available on a drop-in basis as their schedule allows.

Peer Tutoring

In each block, select students are available to support their peers in various subjects. All students in study hall, teacher’s aide positions, and on attendance waivers are invited to visit the Tutoring Center to work with a peer tutor. No appointment is necessary.

Math After School Help (MASH)

We offer small group math help sessions after school four days a week, facilitated by a paraprofessional math tutor or a licensed math teacher.

Mondays and Tuesdays from 3 to 4:15 p.m. (students may come and go as needed during this window)
No appointment necessary

Chemistry & Biology After School Help (CASH & BASH)

Small group help sessions in chemistry and biology are offered after school on Wednesdays from 3 to 4:15 p.m. in Room 412. Each session is facilitated by a paraprofessional science tutor. No appointment is necessary.

Quiz & Test Make-Up or Re-performance

Students may complete missing quizzes or tests in the Tutoring Center during study hall, teacher’s aide positions, attendance waivers, and after school Monday through Thursday. If a teacher initiates this process, a Tutoring Center representative will communicate with the student. Students wishing to initiate this process must first contact the appropriate teacher to ensure the quiz or test is available in the Tutoring Center.

Return from Extended Absence

A team including students, parents, counselors, and administrators will develop a plan to support students returning from lengthy absences. This plan may combine multiple Tutoring Center supports and could include a safe space, reduced workload within courses, or a reduced course load. The duration varies based on student needs.
