Bellaire Elementary After-School Tutoring

Feb 28, 2023 |

This semester, we are proud to partner with Bellaire Elementary to create space for much needed after-school tutoring. This is a great example of neighboring in action—our longstanding relationship with Bellaire Elementary opened the door for the counselors to share what could help make their students more successful and we were fortunate to have willing volunteers with a desire and a passion to help make a difference.

The teachers have shared with us that the next several weeks leading up to standardized testing will be critical. At this time, 55% of students across the district would be considered “approaching grade level” or better. The dream is that the majority of students in the district are meeting or exceeding their grade level curriculum and testing. After school tutoring impacts students’ learning directly by reinforcing classroom instruction and creating a cloud of supportive adults who are invested in each child’s success.
