Mr. Mendez is available for tutoring almost every morning starting at 7:15 a.m. If you would like your student to get some extra help please email mendezz@usd430.org to ask if he has a spot available for extra tutoring help before school starts in the morning. He is available on a first come first serve basis.
This is an excellent opportunity to get some focused help on a subject your student is struggling with. This is also an excellent time to work on bringing a grade up which might be slipping, before it falls even further.
