Tutoring request

Caregiver, mentor, family member, etc

A parent or guardian (who is at least 18 years of age) MUST be present during the entire tutoring session. If the parent or guardian leaves, the tutoring session will end. A Tutor will wait for only fifteen (15) minutes for a parent or guardian and the student to arrive. If the parent or guardian and student arrive within fifteen minutes then the time remaining for that session will be spent by the Tutor tutoring the student. It is very important that the parent/guardian and the student not miss any sessions. If for some reason the session needs to be cancelled and re-scheduled, it is the parent /guardian's responsibility to call the Tutor directly to inform them of the cancellation at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled session and provide a time within the month to re-schedule. Please give the Tutor notice as soon as possible. If the Tutor shows up and no one has called to cancel the session, the Tutor will leave and will not return to tutor the student until the Tutor and the Foundation are confident that no more sessions will be cancelled without notice. The Foundation reserves the right to discontinue tutoring services if there are more than three sessions missed without calling the tutor first or frequent cancellations. The parent or guardian must sign a document at the end of each tutoring session to verify that the tutoring session did take place. If at any time a parent or guardian has any concerns about the Tutor or the tutoring process that they do not feel comfortable discussing with the Tutor, the parent/guardian should contact the Educate Program Manager of the Foundation for Foster Children at the number below to discuss any such issues.The parent or guardian will inform the Foundation of any upcoming meetings regarding the student's educational needs, including IEP meetings, parent teacher conferences, suspensions or expulsions, etc. Placement Change.
