Tutoring
Tutoring is different in each grade level and we build a support program based off the needs of students and teachers. We host small group, one on one, and office hour options. Our goal is to provide students independence and teach them how to advocate for themselves when needing support. Teachers monitor student progress and also require tutoring if and when a student needs it.
In the elementary grades, students receive small group instructional support based on their needs throughout the school day. Teachers communicate frequently with parents regarding ways students can practice skills that will support them in success. If additional support is needed beyond what is offered during the school day, parents are encouraged to contact the child's classroom teacher.
6th grade students have built in time for support during their daily schedule. Teachers meet with small groups and students one on one during homeroom time as well as intervention times. If additional support is needed, students are encouraged to ask their teachers, or email to schedule time.
Within the school day, 7th and 8th grade students have several opportunities to receive small group or individualized support from their teachers. Students can request a pass from their teachers to visit them during these times. Times allotted for support are: seminar, enrichment, and advisory class.
At Desert Heights, academic success is a priority. All high school teachers offer weekly tutoring sessions, known as office hours, to provide additional support beyond the classroom. These dedicated times allow students to ask questions, review challenging material, and receive one-on-one guidance.
Students earning a grade of 70% or below in any course are required to attend their teacher’s office hours until they have improved to a passing grade. Our goal is to ensure every student has the resources and support they need to succeed.
