Dear 10,000 Degrees Academic Support Tutors,

This most unusual school year is almost at an end, with last classes and graduations occurring this week. That means the Academic Support program will be closed for the summer: the team won't be working from June 14-August 16. While we will check email periodically, if you really need a response from one of us during this time, please text our cell phones.
Reminder: Input Your Volunteers Hours By This Friday
Thank you to so many of you who have consistently submitted your volunteer hours! This data is indispensable to our program and is used with funders, schools and other stakeholders. We also read all the comments you add, cheering at your successes and reaching out when there are issues.

If you have not input your volunteer hours this spring (or are behind on your data entry), please input your hours by this Friday, June 11th so we can close out the school year.

If you are struggling with our input form or having other technical issues, please contact one of us and we'd be glad to help.
The Academic Support Report
Here's what we know about the 2021-2022 school year. The first day of classes and 2021-2022 calendars are:

  • Novato Schools - August 17th - Calendar

  • San Rafael Schools - August 19th - Calendar

  • Sausalito Marin City School District - August 23rd - Calendar


  • Shoreline (West Marin) Schools - We don't see these posted yet

IMPORTANT NOTE: While the significant vacation breaks should not change, other dates on the school calendar may be revised in the fall. So use these as a guide for now.
Tales of 2020-2021
Thank you doesn't sufficiently convey how grateful we are to all of you for your willingness to help students as much as possible during this most challenging time.
As you adapted and re-adapted to ever-changing classroom and student situations, your creativity, resilience, good humor and devotion to your students were inspiring to us. We are lucky to have you as our volunteers!
We hope you have a relaxing summer break and truly hope we can see more of one another (full bodies, in person) this fall!

Thank you for being ONE DEGREE of change!

Your 10,000 Degrees Academic Support Team
