Mentor+a+Scottie!

I am the Mentor & Tutor Contact for Highland Park. We have a wealth of human resources at our school, and research shows that adding just one caring adult to the equation can make an exponential difference in a student's academic achievement and connection to school. Please contact me (click 'home' tab) if you would like to serve in the following role as a Mentor:

Meet once a week for 30-45 minutes informally with a student. No tutoring or specific academic focus is necessary, just a consistent presence in a student's life to encourage, listen, and remind them that someone else is invested in their efforts at school and beyond. NOTE: This commitment lasts at least the entire school year and often extends beyond elementary grades, if both student-mentor decide to continue meeting. Please only volunteer yourself if you are able to keep a routine schedule with a student.
