HOMEWORK HELP AFTER SCHOOL
Homework help (or "tutoring") will occur on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 2:55pm to 3:35pm. During this time we will complete homework in small groups. All of my students are welcome. Students must have a ride promptly at 3:35pm on the Thacker side of the building.
