Thornridge CP TUTORING

Contact your teacher(s) to make an appointment for CP (Communication Period) tutoring from 2:30-3:00pm.  It is highly suggested that you take advantage of this opportunity if you are struggling, or even if you want to stay on top of your academics!  To find the contact information for your teachers, take a look through our TR Directory, call or email your teacher(s) for CP appointments or to have questions and concerns addressed!

 

 

Thornridge students have the opportunity to receive tutoring every Saturday from 8am-12pm.  Students may arrive at anytime between these hours and may leave anytime up until 12pm - the only requirement is that students must sign in and sign out to attend. 

 

 

The Thornridge After School Program is held Monday through Thursday in the school library from 3pm to 4pm.  Teachers and student tutors are available daily to assist students with homework, class  assignments, PLATO, credit recovery classes, PSAE/ACT prpep and projects. 

 

In order to attend TASP, students must sign the TASP Student Rules and Responsibilities Form- which states they will adhere to all school rules, bring assigned work/activities with them and sign in each day they attend the program.  Registration/fee for this program is not required; all Thornridge students are welcome!

 

Teachers can refer a student to TASP with the TASP Referral Form.
