HELPS literacy tutoring is now available during Westerly Hills Academy’s afterschool program! Slots are available for one hour per week, Mon-Fri., between 3:30 and 5:30.
 
Did you know that 3 rd grade reading scores are linked directly to future success? 96% of students reading at grade level in 3 rd grade go on to graduate high school, while those who aren’t at grade level are 4 times more likely to drop out. Only 27% of Westerly Hills’s 3 rd graders were reading at grade level based on last year’s EOG scores, but we can help change that! 12 tutors have been working with students during the school day since November and are seeing tremendous growth already. Come get to know the sweet students at Westerly and help them succeed! You can sign up here.
