Tutorial

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tutorial?

• Tutorial is a program that offers additional instructional time for students. This instruction is designed to meet the needs of individual students and is appropriate for both remedial and enriched learning. Tutorial gives students time to make up work for absences, get help with projects, redo tests and quizzes, and complete missing assignments.

How do you determine where a student goes for Tutorial?

• Students will always start by going to their assigned Tutorial teacher’s room. If students have grades below a C- or have any missing work, they may request or be requested to the class in which they have the highest failing percentage. So, if a student has a 67% in one class and 50% in a different class, the student would go to the class in which s/he has 67%. Exceptions to this rule are stated below.
• If a student has a non-passing grade in any subject, on that subject’s priority day, the student will attend that class for Tutorial, even if s/he has a higher failing grade in a different class.
• Priority Days are as follows:
  • Monday: Science/Social Studies
    
  • Tuesday: English
  • Wednesday: We do not have Tutorial
    
  • Thursday: Math
  • Friday: Electives

• Students may also be designated to attend a Tutorial class if the teacher(s) thinks they need extra time and assistance to master a concept. Students who are passing all classes, turning in assignments, demonstrating mastery and doing what is asked will be provided enrichment opportunities with their assigned Tutorial teacher.

When is Tutorial scheduled?

• Tutorial begins after 4th  period and lasts for 35 minutes. Students attend Tutorial every day

Will students go to their locker before and after Tutorial?

• Yes, students will have the normal passing time between classes.

May students change rooms during Tutorial?
