             We are offering this program as an alternative to private tutoring or summer school programs offered by area public schools.  Students who are required to attend summer school may fulfill the requirement here at Holy Family.  All students who are required to attend summer school will be tested at the end of the program to determine proficiency.  Students who are requested to receive tutoring, as well as those who have been recommended for tutoring, may fulfill the requirement here as well.

             Instruction will run for one-hour sessions between the hours of 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon. (Tuesday – Thursday)  Private tutoring and small group instruction will be offered in most subjects.  The fee of  $60.00 per private session per hour and $25.00 per small group session per hour is to be made by check payable to Holy Family School.

              Indicate below your interest in attending the summer tutoring/school program.  Once we have received your response, the teacher who will be responsible for your child’s instruction will notify you.  Please note that if your child is required to attend summer school/receive tutoring, verification of attendance must be sent to HFS by the 13th of August.
