Tutorials: Tutorials times are available most days before and after school as needed.
All students should be reading at home each night for at least 20 minutes. After all, at this level, students are reading to learn, not learning to read. This reading is student choice, whether it be the newspaper or a book from the library. Each student understands this is his or her homework for reading.
