ACADEMIC SUPPORT AVAILABLE
Tutoring options are available to students in addition to utilizing X-block time with their teachcers on Tuesday and Thursday mornings each week from 7:30 - 8:15 a.m.
If students specifically need help in Math class, there is tutoring available every day on lunch break. Please contact Mr. Kong at jkong@birmingham.k12.mi.us for the link to join these tutoring sessions.
Starting Tuesday, October 20th, we are offering virtual tutoring for all subject areas from our Big Brothers Big Sisters and NHS students. Tutoring will be every Tuesday and Thursday from 3-4 p.m. until the trimester ends on November 24.
When students join, they will be asked which subject area break-out room they would like to join, so they are able to get help in a specific content area. Staff will also be monitoring the tutoring sessions.
Finally, in a couple weeks, the Saturday School program held at Berkshire will also begin tutoring that is open to Groves students as well. More information will follow.
