Guidelines and Expectations

  • Tutors are expected to provide instruction during tutoring sessions. In most cases students will be expected to complete academic work independently outside of tutoring sessions.
  • Unless the student's condition prevents them from receiving tutoring in a public location, every effort will be made to arrange for services to be provided outside the home.
  • In the event that tutoring must be provided at the student's home, a parent/guardian must be present.
  • Tutoring sessions via Google Meet are allowed as necessary.
  • Tutors are required to record student attendance and a log of work completed. Parents/guardians will be asked to verify and sign the log.
  • Parents/guardians must contact the tutor directly as soon as possible when a scheduled tutoring session needs to be canceled or rescheduled.
  • A student's failure to attend scheduled tutoring sessions without a medical excuse may result in the suspension of tutoring services.
  • Any questions or concerns regarding tutoring services should be directed to the assigned tutor or the building administrator.
