Academic Assistance
TUTORIAL PERIOD - Tartar Tutorial Time
This period is built into our bell schedule (30 min period between 3rd and 4th period, every Wednesday and Thursday). Students have an opportunity to get additional assistance with their assignments or topics in which they are struggling, and they are encouraged to take advantage of this time. Students must visit one of their six teachers’ classrooms. Seats will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Students are not permitted to enter a classroom in which they are not currently enrolled.

Say Something Anonymous Reporting System
This life-saving service empowers you, our students, and our community members to anonymously report any concerns, including potential threats, bullying, or individuals who may be at risk of harming themselves or others. There are three ways to make a report:
Call the 24/7 crisis hotline counselors at 1-844-5-SayNow (1-844-572-9669)
Download the mobile app at Google Play or Apple Store
Submit a tip through their secure website
No matter how you report, Say Something ensures that every voice is heard and every concern can be addressed promptly.
We encourage you to remind your children about the importance of speaking up if they see or hear something troubling so that we can partner to address issues before they escalate. By working together, we can create a safer and more supportive environment for everyone.
