Northfield Middle School 24 -25

E-Learning Day - Wednesday, November 27 - GOLD DAY 2

Northfield Middle School staff will post the day’s activities on Schoology before 9:00 am. Students will join their Period 1 (Gold Day) class via Zoom at 9:00 am for attendance, and to receive instructions about the e-Learning day. Expectations will align with what students would complete within a regular class period. The learning activity will advance the current content being learned in the course. The teacher will explain the maximum time the student should spend on the learning activity. Teachers will be available to assist students with the day’s tasks based on the following schedule. For clarity, this schedule is not for required live instruction but for student assistance.

Tutoring Hotline

Tutoring Hotline is a volunteer program that matches Carleton volunteers with Rice County students of all ages in need of free, one-on-one academic assistance in any subject. Our program supports students who already have a set curriculum; our tutors are not equipped to assign new content. Approved tutors sign up for specific tutoring requests depending on their academic interests and availability and will meet with students for about one hour, once a week in a public location or via Zoom. Tutoring sessions are individualized to the student’s needs and may include review of concepts learned in school, preparation for upcoming tests, help with homework, etc.
