- After-school tutoring program is starting! Does your student seem to need extra support, re-teaching of concepts, more time to complete work, or more 1:1 feedback for success on assignments? Please refer them to the after-school tutoring program! This program will be starting next week 2/4/26. Tutoring is Wednesdays after school, 2:45-4:00 in the post-grad center. The first 15 minutes students can get snacks and do a brief social-emotional check-in activity. By 3:00, teacher tutors are there to help students in their chosen subjects. If your child needs this support, tell them about this program. Once they show up, we’ll add them to the weekly email reminder with parents to ensure they keep coming. We appreciate your referrals! For questions, please email our psychologist, Amy Stivers at amy.stivers@dcsdk12.org.
