NHS Peer Tutoring Committee
The NHS Tutoring Committee is offering one-on-one tutoring, both remote and in-person, during free periods and after school this semester. If you are struggling in a particular class and feel that you would benefit from a peer tutor, please fill out the following form to be matched with an NHS tutor link here.
Library Policy Change
We are pleased to announce that we will no longer be charging late fees on overdue books! All previous fines are being deleted (from Tech and middle schools). There will still be fines on lost books, though students should talk to a librarian if a book is lost. If the fee is a hardship, we may be able to help.
