After-School Homework Club

School work isn't always fun but it can be a positive learning experience. In order to maximize your student's 30 minute session we ask that you read the following tips:

• Show up to your weekly sessions- Even if the student doesn't have homework. Our dedicated staff will have materials and fun educational games ready on hand to continue to strengthen the students core subject knowledge.  
• Missed sessions- Please call, text or email at least one hour before your appointment time so we don't worry. We will Call, Text or Email you if, we need to cancel your session.
• No Ghosting- This program is seven months long; students are not required to participate the entire length of the program. Most don't, and that's okay. Life happens, schedules change, students no longer need help. Whatever the reason, let us know and we will take on a new student. 
• If you have homework, Bring it!- We'd love to see what you are working on
• During session- Focus, focus, fun! Only the student and homework helper are present during the appointment. No siblings, pets or parents. Students will be supervised during their entire session.
• After Session- We know you don't want to leave because the session was oodles of fun. "Parting is such sweet sorrow". You must exit the room/area so the next session can begin. Students can hang out in the library unsupervised while they wait for their rides to pick them up. 
• Your opinion matters- Students and parents will periodically be asked to complete program surveys. Surveys are short and sweet and you might get a treat!
