Homework Help - Space Still Available

Starting Monday December 5th 3:00–4:00 in the Wagner Library, Room 222

Students from Eleanor Roosevelt High School will be available every Monday to provide additional help to students with their assigned homework. The ELRO students generally show up between 3:15 - 3:20 as they must finish their school day and then walk to Wagner. Wagner students will be expected to start their homework and then be prepared to ask for assistance from the ELRO students when they arrive. Please email Ms Klovekorn with any questions @ jklovekorn2@schools.nyc.gov

Gentle Reminders

Please do not drop off items for your child during the school day. We will not accept homework, lunches, gym clothes, etc. We do not want to disrupt class learning, and we want middle school students to be responsible for having everything they need for school.

School hours are 8:40am - 3:00pm. Students may not leave school by themselves before the end of the school day. If they need to leave early, they must be checked out by an adult on their Emergency Blue Card.

Children MAY NOT be checked out of school during their lunch period.
