NHS Tutoring:
We are excited to announce that National Honor Society tutoring will be starting up in-
person after school on Tuesday Oct 20th and continuing through the school year. We will
be offering free after school tutoring every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at SJHS
from 2:45-3:45pm. We will be socially distant and will have one-on-one tutoring for
anyone who needs a little extra help. We will meet in the student center and everyone will
wear masks and face shields (shields will be provided, students need to wear their own
masks).
We are also working on a system for requesting virtual tutoring and will get information out
as soon as we work out the details. Virtual tutoring will be on a reservation basis and in-
person tutoring is walk in, no reservations necessary.
Feel free to stop by the Student Center after school any Tuesday, Wednesday or
Thursday. Students should check in with Ms Nic for purposes of contact tracing and tutor
assignment.
Hope to see you soon!

set up individual virtual meetings.
