Bradley Tutors are back!! They are outside the library Monday-Thursday from 3:00-4:00 PM. Remember this is not a babysitting service. Students must be working on homework or getting assistance with classroom work they are struggling with. The tutors have been instructed that if students are not working on homework or getting assistance with classroom work they should send that student to aftercare and parents will be charged.
