Nuree's Nook - Horace Mann Announcements

Hello Tutors!

Here are a few brief announcements:

February Holidays : School is closed Tuesday, February 19th for Presidents Day. There will be no tutoring this day.

On-going mid-year assessments: I’ve already sent an email out about this but just wanted to remind you that I may pull your students for their mid-year assessments during your tutoring session. I invite you to sit and observe as I assess. This will help you get a better sense of how we assess as well as some needs of the students.

Children's Week: We are celebrating Children's Week February 11th-14th. This is a traditional holiday in Mexico, where all children are honored. We will be celebrating this special week by inviting the parents of our students to attend their child's tutoring session, and see what wonderful activities we do at YES Reading.

Training Acknowledgements: Please let me know if you have attended three or more Tutor trainings in the course of your time here at YES Reading. We have a special gift for you, and we would like to recognize your dedication!
