After-School Homework Help: Supporting Student Success on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Dear Windber Families,
As part of our ongoing commitment to your child’s academic success, we are pleased to announce that the Windber Area School District will be offering after-school homework help and assistance every Tuesday and Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30 PM starting on September 10, 2024. This program is designed to provide additional support to students who may need help with their assignments, ensuring they stay on track with their studies.
Who Will Benefit?
Our teachers and counselors will refer students to this homework-help program based on their attendance and grades. By identifying students who may be struggling early on, we aim to provide timely support to address any academic challenges before they become larger obstacles.
The Importance of Homework
Homework is a vital part of the learning process. It reinforces what students have learned in class, helps develop strong study habits, and allows for the practice of important skills. We recognize that some students may find homework challenging, and that’s why we’re here to help. By offering this dedicated time after school, we want to ensure that all students have the resources they need to succeed.
Your Role as Parents
We need your partnership to make this program truly effective. Please take a moment to talk with your child about the importance of homework and encourage them to take advantage of this extra help. Waiting until the marking period is almost over can make it difficult to improve grades, so early intervention is key. Encourage your child to attend the sessions if they are struggling, and let them know that seeking help is a positive and proactive step toward success.
Make the Most of This Resource
We strongly encourage all families to take full advantage of this free resource. Whether your child has been referred or you feel they could benefit from additional support, this is a valuable opportunity to ensure they stay on track academically.
If you have any questions about the program or would like to discuss your child’s needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to their principal or school counselor. We are here to support your child’s educational journey every step of the way.
Thank you for your continued involvement in your child’s education. Together, we can help every student achieve their full potential.
Sincerely,
Mike Vuckovich
Superintendent of Schools
