SCHEDULING
Based on availability, students are scheduled for 1 to 4 sessions per week. Middle and Upper School sessions are 30 or 60 minutes and typically meet during study halls or after school. Sessions for Lower School students last 30 minutes and are arranged with the classroom teacher at an appropriate time. Waiting pools are formed when no space is available.
Students can be referred to the Learning Skills Program by parents, teachers, or school administrators. The Program Coordinator approves the referral, assigns a teacher, and facilitates scheduling.
