When Are Program Services Held?

Tutoring services are available throughout the school year. It is preferable for the services to be scheduled at the school site for ongoing contact between the tutor and the student’s teacher. Culture classes are scheduled throughout the year, including a special summer program. Contact the Indian Program Educator for the schedule.

Why Do Students Participate?

Students participate in the Indian Education program for a variety of reasons: for assistance with school work, particularly reading and math; for culturally related enrichment; for support and encouragement in the achievement of challenging standards; for assistance in working toward entering institutions of higher education.
