• What is Tiger Time?

    • Tiger Time is an academic advisory opportunity for everyone. We will meet once a week for 45 minutes each Wednesday. Tiger Time mentors will be there to instruct students on topics that are critical to their academic achievement through designed lessons, monitor students' grades, ensure the completion of missing assignments, and monitoring of attendance.  
    • During that time, students are expected to participate in the lessons, work on missing assignments, complete homework, attend assigned tutoring (in English/Math/Science), make up tests/quizzes (with appropriate pass), or read silently.
    • This is NOT a time to catch up on social media. Cell phones are prohibited during Tiger Time.

    Expectations

    • Respect : Respect yourself, classmates, teachers, classroom property, and the classroom environment. 
    • Productivity: Focus on assignments, complete homework and make-up work.
    • Responsibility: Be a responsible scholar at all times.  Come to class prepared (with pencil, paper and the right attitude).  Follow classroom expectations.
    • Punctuality: Be on time.

    Consequences

    • “F” grades will cause you to lose credits needed for graduation.
    • Low grades/GPA jeopardize eligibility. 
    • Mandatory lunch tutoring 
    • Parent contact
