Tutoring

Tutoring is by invitation and most teachers tutor either Monday or Tuesday morning, 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m., or Monday and Tuesday afternoon, 3:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.  However, teachers may add different times at their discretion. If you have questions about tutoring and your child, please contact your child's teacher.
