Looking for Help?

Posted by misterjolly on 30th September 2007

If you’re looking for one-on-one help, you guys are lucky, because I have fourth period planning.  That means I am available during three of the four lunches at our school.  Here’s how to find me:

Fourth Period: I am usually in the library for the entire period.  Just ask someone on staff.

Fifth Period:  My advisement group switches lunches a couple of times a week to do some intensive peer tutoring with another advisement group.  This makes things trickier, but I am still available.  Just ask me in advance, and I can let you know exactly where I will be.

Of course, I am still available by appointment before and after school on any day except Monday, when I go to school.

You have plenty of opportunities to seek help!  Take advantage of them!
