We will be posting an overview of the announcements for each week here on the website.

Week 1: Sept 8-Sept 12 Announcements

Student and tutor responsibilities – Paula

Tutors: 

  1. Be here every week, on time.
  2. Prepare lesson plan every week – please stick to one Stand Out lesson per week for pacing.
  3. Assign homework every week using your students workbook. Go over the instructions with her so she know how to complete it at home.
  4. Communicate absences with us using the absence form on the website or email.

Students: 

  1. Be here every week at your scheduled time (do not make doctor appointments during class time)
  2. Be here on time to hear announcements
  3. Do your assigned homework
  4. Communicate with your tutor if you are sick and need to miss class. Your tutor will communicate this with us, so you do not need to.

Attendance, red book, substitute policy – Sr. Jane

  1. Every tutor and student has an attendance sheet with all class dates. Every class date is listed, so please plan accordingly.
  2. The tutor must fill this out throughout the semester – we will collect attendance sheets at the end of the semester for grant reporting. 
  3. If you miss a class, please try to make it up either here or at a public library. If you need to reschedule a class at the Center, you can see the back of the attendance sheet for all of our class times.
  4. The “Red Book” is for any dates you know you will miss in the future. If you are marking a planned absence, please circle “OUT.” This helps us know that your classroom is available for someone to make up a class. If you want to make up a class at the Center, ask any of us and we will see if there is a room available and get you signed in.
  5. If you are going to miss two or more consecutive classes, and you let us know at least one week prior to the first absence, we can provide a substitute tutor. There is a request form on the website under Tutor Resources, or you can email Sr. Jane or let us know in person.

Emergency contact form and photo release – Claire

  1. Tutors, please fill out your emergency contact form and help your student fill hers out as well. We need these back before you leave the building for compliance and safety reasons. 
  2. Please note that students should not put their address or place of work on the form anymore. We only need to know city and zip code.
  3. The photo release is included on the form. If you are not comfortable sharing your photo outside of our building, please put an X through this section or write “no.”
  4. Claire will be coming to classrooms starting next week taking photos of each student and tutor together.
