Weekly Tutorial
Weekly tutorial offers students the opportunity to acquire extra curricular help during the regular school day. Students must attend tutorial four times per week (NO tutorial on a late start day), and attendance is taken the same as for traditional classes. Students must attend an assigned tutorial, except for days labeled Student Choice, which provides them with a choice of which of their classes to attend. Tutorial is a built-in intervention for all students that should be utilized to the fullest. Tutorial is not a time for teachers to present new material; however a teacher may conduct a whole-class review for an upcoming test or students can make up tests during this 28 minute period.
