Student Support
Peer Tutoring Every Thursday
We know that learning new content at rigorous levels can be challenging at times. With this in mind, we provide a wide scope that spans several available options to meet the academic needs of our students.
Each teacher has established tutoring times throughout the school week. These times can be before school, after school, and during lunch or any combination of these. Tutoring can also be scheduled in a one-on-one setting with a teacher outside their scheduled tutoring times.
Additionally, each Thursday is Rough Rider Readiness through Roosevelt, a time within the school day that students can also take advantage of to meet with their teachers for a little extra support. Throughout the year, peer tutoring is also offered during Rough Rider Readiness in the College and Career Center.
