7-3 Tutorial

Tutorial is a silent study hall for the first 30 minutes of Block A4. It is designed to offer students an opportunity to work on assignments, talk with teachers, make up assessments, collect missed work, etc.  Below, please find our list of expectations for Tutorial this year. These rules have been derived over a number of school years. By following these guidelines, all students and teachers will be able to benefit from the tutorial time.

Arrive on time from lunch. Visit your locker and then go to your assigned room.

Come prepared to Tutorial with all the work you’ll need; there will be no further locker visits.

Silence is required during Tutorial.

Everyone, students and teachers, will be working.

Everyone is to stay in the room, silently working for the first ten minutes of Tutorial;  after that time, students may sign out to visit other teachers.

Three students per teacher can be signed out at one time; the same is true for the library.

Exceptions to the above rules require a pass written by a teacher requesting to see a student during Tutorial.

As you join the middle school community, you begin to take more responsibility for your own learning. You will be expected to seek out your teachers if you are absent so that you can collect your missed work and makeup assessments. WE DO NOT TRACK YOU DOWN!! Tutorial time is a great opportunity for you to do this.

Your team of teachers will also be expecting you to begin to advocate for yourselves when you have questions or if you are having difficulty understanding a topic from class. If you are confused or don't understand something, check in with your Homeroom Teacher, and then GO SEE YOUR TEACHER DURING TUTORIAL. Your teachers don't know what questions you have until you ask them! We know that some students are not comfortable asking questions during class or that questions will arise after class ends. You are being provided a wonderful opportunity when it comes to the time afforded to you to seek out answers and clarification from your teachers!

Also, please do not come to any class, EVER, saying, "I didn't understand what I needed to do for this homework!" You should be completing homework for your A-Day classes on A-Days, and homework for your B-Day Classes on B-Days. If you follow this practice and you have difficulty with your homework, you should be seeing your teacher the very next school day (Tutorial Time on A-Days and Homeroom Time after checking in on both A-Days and B-Days) to seek out help with the assignment. You can also email your teacher(s) with any questions you may have.  Then the following class session, you can receive full credit for your work. Leaving blank spaces and question marks IS UNACCEPTABLE since you have the opportunity to clarify how to complete your homework assignments before they are due!
