Tutoring Assignments All tutoring assignments must be assigned by Mrs. Reilmann. Every attempt will be made to give you your first choice, but you must be willing to settle for your second or third choice. Assignments cannot be changed once given.

Attendance Attendance is required. You are responsible to show up on your assigned dates and times. If an emergency happens you MUST call your supervisor to let them know you will be late or you will not be there. Not calling when you are absent is not acceptable. If you are removed from an assignment due to poor attendance or any other reason, you will not be given another one. If you miss one of your days, you must check with your supervisor about making up hours before the end of the semester. IMPORTANT: Vacation Stations and Meadows Parkway have mandatory orientations prior to your placement start date. These will be highlighted on your placement form.

Behavior DO: Do Not: Be on time. Be respectful to your supervisor and others in your environment. Have a positive attitude. Be sensitive to the special needs of children and maintain confidentiality. Turn off your cell phone. Adhere to the FHSD Student Code of Conduct and Dress Code. Do Not: Have physical contact with the children. Go or be anywhere with children without a supervisor present. Stand around waiting to be instructed to do something. Take the initiative and do something to help.

Time Sheet and Evaluation You are expected to complete your 50 hours within the time period assigned. Only one placement is given per student. You must use a time sheet to record all hours and have all hours signed by your supervisor. The time sheet is due to Mrs. Davis (Main Office) by August 13th 2018. You alone are responsible to turn in your time sheet; do not allow a time sheet to be turned in by your supervisor. Give your supervisor a copy of your schedule and your evaluation sheet. When you are almost finished with your assignment, remind them to complete the evaluation and give to you or mail to Mrs. Davis. Evaluations should be turned in to Mrs. Davis by August 13th. Any forgery or dishonesty of hours will result in removal from the A+ program.

Contacting Supervisor Contact your supervisor before the assignment starts to introduce yourself. You will be given their contact information when you pick up your placement. If you do not get in contact with your supervisor you should still attend on your regular scheduled days. Ask your supervisor in advance about the dress code and adhere to it each time you tutor. Give your supervisor a thank you card or letter on your last day. Let students know when your last day will be as well.

It is your responsibility to: Turn in all documented hours to Mrs. Davis in the Main Office once you have 50 hours. Due by Monday, August 13th 2018. YOU are responsible to turn in the time sheet(s), not your supervisor. Be present for every assigned day and call your supervisor when sick or late. Adhere to all policies at your assigned tutoring location. Maintain/achieve the required GPA, attendance, math assessment score and behavior requirements.
