Academic tutoring opportunities are organized through each Department.  If a student needs academic support and is interested in learning more about tutoring opportunities, they should reach out to their teacher.  Classroom teachers are always the first point of contact when troubleshooting difficulties.  Next, a student should reach out to the Department SBTL.  As a third option, Assistant Principals are available to troubleshoot difficulties.
