Extended Learning Opportunities

The Clarkston Help

The Clarkston Help is a free tutoring program that provides an individualized system of tutoring to Sashabaw Middle School students. CHS Mentors will work with students on areas they need improvement and provide feedback to parents on what the student accomplished.

The Clarkston Help is open to SMS students every Sunday. Your child will receive in-depth tutoring from Clarkston High School students, supervised by Clarkston Community School teachers. If you are interested in taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity, we highly suggest that you contact your child’s teacher to ask for your child to be recommended to The Clarkston Help; this will allow our tutors to receive information directly from the teacher regarding what students are struggling on.

ONLINE CLASSES

SOAR Study Skills http://studyskills.com/products/?product=101

Live, web-based classes for students in grades 6-12. A friendly and motivating way for students to learn how to study. Learn to manage time, organize, take notes, plan homework and projects, improve reading comprehension, set goals, take tests, and more! Cost: $349

The program is accessible from the comfort of your own home via phone, internet, and e-mail. Topics are covered in six, 60 minute sessions over the course of six weeks via the internet and teleconference line. This program is unique because you will actually do most of the strategies in school or with your homework before we discuss them in detail with the group. This twist enables you to ask good questions and be sure that you really understand how and when to use each strategy.

Each class session will have up to 15 participants. This group size is small enough for students to get full and individualized attention, but large enough to promote engaging discussions and learning opportunities from peers.
