Tutoring will begin on September 20th, 2004. This year, the program will feature a homework help desk where students can work on assignments and ask questions. In addition to this feature, we will also be offering our state recognized tutoring/mentoring program for students that need special attention in one or more subjects.
My child receives good grades. Does he/she need tutoring?
