EOC Tutoring

The sessions will alternate between English I teachers depending on the lesson that day. In addition to helping to review to make a Level 3 or 4 on the English I EOC, I will offer an incentive for you. If you attend five out of the six sessions, you will be eligible for a 100% test grade to help your last 9 Weeks average. YOU MUST STAY FOR THE ENTIRE SESSION (until 4:15) TO GET CREDIT.
Teachers will give you a ticket upon exiting the tutoring schedule. DO NOT LOOSE THESE TICKETS! These will prove to your teacher that you attended!
If you need extra tutoring to prepare for the English I EOC, mark your calendar for Tuesdays and Thursdays leading up to final exams. Here is the schedule:
