Students who need extra help, would like to make up missed work, or would like to discuss their grade should contact Ms. Torres or Mr. MacDonald. Before school extra help is available for all students on Mondays & Tuesdays in the health room. Make sure to let your teacher know that you plan to come to extra help.
