After-School Tutoring Sign-Ups February 2025

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are offering Saturday School on Saturday, March 8 from 8-11 am. This opportunity is for students to catch up on work. It is not an opportunity to get more work assigned. School starts at 8 am at Rochester Middle School. Late arrivals will not be allowed in. Please fill out the student's name, grade, team, and dates your student will attend. Also, please sign acknowledging that you would like your son or daughter to attend. It would be great to leave the best contact number for those dates. Staff does an excellent job planning for these sessions, so it is important that we have accurate numbers and information. Thank you!

Respectfully,

Ryan Gilpatrick

Principal

Rochester Middle School
