Tutor and Homework Response from Principles in MHSD
Mr. Gunderson, Mountain Home High School:   Mr. McLean runs a homework/tutoring club (mostly math help) Mon-Thurs from 3-4 PM in his classroom (31).

Mrs. Cruser: West Elementary:   Hi Nix! The last I heard if there were tutors available, they had those names at the District Office. Sometimes we tell parents to try Kahn academy for math.

Mrs. Straw, North Elementary: Hi Nix! I don't have anything I give parents for tutoring or homework help. Right now if parents call we do offer some help for students on Friday during online learning.

Mr. Cochran, MH Junior High School: Hey Nix, Here's an announcement about tutoring you can find on our website that's included in our monthly newsletter:
- Our After-School Tutoring Program has started. It is offered to all students Monday-Thursday from 3:00-4:00. If your student would benefit from tutoring or just needs extra-time on schoolwork, they can attend on one or more of the days offered. They just need to check in at the front office. If your student is attending tutoring, there is no busing provided, please arrange for their transportation.
Also, parents can contact our counselor, Mrs. Sirani (sirani_jl@mtnhomesd.org) about our "daytime tutoring" which is offered to students struggling to pass their core subject classes like English and math.

Mr. McCluskey, Stephensen Elementary: Primary focus for during face-to-face sessions is new material, math, and reading. Online sessions focus on practicing already taught/learned skills.

Fridays provide the primary intervention/enrichment times.
- All teachers have a live “Morning Meeting” session.
  - All times are consistent by grade level.
  - Teachers review with students important topics and discuss the learning objectives for the day.
  - Morning Meetings are usually 15-30 in length.
  - Teachers answer questions before signing off.
- All teachers provide a live “office hours” session for at least one hour.
  - To answer questions or schedule another meeting time.
- All teachers schedule in-person individual and/or small group sessions throughout the day at the school to address specific student needs.
  - SES coordinates with the Youth Center to drop-off and pick-up students during the 1:00-3:00 pm time frame.
Internet support
- Math
  - https://videos.dmtinstitute.com/
    - Parents can access by creating their own account or through their student’s account. Phil McCluskey, Principal
Mrs. Smith, Hacker Middle School: Hi Nix, I think we are little unique in that we offer virtual afterschool tutoring Monday through Thursday from 3:30 -5:30. Parents can sign students up by contacting Mrs. Schipani. Probably the most common supplemental site we recommend is Khan Academy. There are also great links in each students' Clever Portal that can take them to other helpful practice websites their teacher recommends.

School Liaison Input (“Nix”): I have attached my two main resources listing that I provide to parents when I am asked for resources as well. The first one being a living document that I add to and share with others in our world-wide school liaison community. I am awaiting a response from the district on any listing they have.
