Amanda's Corner - Montague Announcements

Hello Tutors!

Here are a few brief announcements:

  • ID Badges: You have either received or will shortly receive your YES Reading ID picture badge. Please wear it anytime you are on the Montague campus. There is a box in the office by the sign-in binder where you can store your badge when you leave campus.
  • I have put together a binder listing all of the new tutor trainings with sign-up sheets, and have placed it by the door. If you are able to attend a training, you can either sign in there, or tell me directly.
