There will be After School Tutoring Monday and Tuesday, February 17-18. If you were on the tutoring list for February 6, make plans to stay. Anyone that stays will earn a No Homework Pass. If 6 students from the same class period stay for tutoring, that class will earn another letter. So, start letting your parents know about tutoring. Tutoring will now be on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4:15-5:15 p.m.
