Mandatory Tutoring Notice (Math)

Students who failed the test we took on Friday are coming home with a Mandatory Tutoring Notice today. They will have this entire week to attend tutoring for extra help on the skills missed and ultimately raise their failing grade to a 70. Mandatory Tutoring will be offered everyday this week under these conditions: Mornings (7:40-8:07) will be Mandatory Tutoring ONLY. This will ensure students one on one attention with regards to finding and working through their original mistakes. Mandatory Tutoring will also be available after school (3:25-4:00), along with regular tutoring. Be advised that if a student chooses to come after school my attention and time will be split among students who are there for help on homework assignments. Also, students who attend Mandatory Tutoring need to plan for multiple days as students rarely complete corrections in one sitting. Thank You all for your understanding.
