Homework Support: Teachers have been available after school in the computer lab, the writing lab, and to tutor students with their math and other subjects. Very few students are taking the opportunity to get one-on-one instruction from a teacher. Students should use after school time to get the extra help that they need. Today, Ms. King had two students, Ms. Bailey had three students, and Ms. Packard had one student stay after school. Please take advantage of this opportunity if you need it. It's amazing how much improvement can be made with just staying after school for 10-15 minutes! Be sure to make transportation arrangements, and always make sure you have parents' permission BEFORE staying after.
Homework:
Read 20 minutes and record your time.
