Students, parents sought for after-school tutoring progam at Lapeer East High School

Students struggling with courses and parent volunteers are needed to participate in after school peer tutoring programs at Lapeer East High School and Zemmer Junior High School at Rolland-Warner Middle School.

The Lapeer East program – “Your Time” – matches students needing help with particular courses with National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society students on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. for one-on-one tutoring.

It is also a time for help with completing homework.

The Zemmer program at Rolland-Warner is available to all 7th grade students on Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. National Honor Society students are looking for more students to stop in for help with homework or studies, said parent William Gavette, the coordinator of both programs.

Parents are needed to supervise the programs. All tutoring is done by the honor society students. Parent volunteers will need to fill out a volunteer form, which takes about a month for a routine check to be completed.

“These are great programs and I encourage students needing help with their courses to stop in and take part in the tutoring,” said East principal Kelly Paige.

To volunteer or receive more information on either program contact Mr. Gavette at (810) 417-1559 or by e-mail at: wmgavette@gmail.com.
