La Tutoría
(tutorials)
Spanish classes were not given a
tutorial day this year. Students need to see me if they
need extra help.
In process of high school Spanish Honor
Society students to come and tutor for free
Tips for success in Spanish:
• ***Complete homework***
Student’s homework is reinforcement over the lesson
covered in class that day
• Review a little each day rather than cramming
before a quiz or test
I send out
distribution lists
at the beginning
of each unit.

the school has
an updated
email address.
