Need some help with your science, math or foreign language class? College Park Peer Tutoring can help. We have knowledgeable student tutors available for most subjects. We can help you understand your homework and boost your grades. Peer Tutoring meets in room A-2 from 2:45-3:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and there is no cost. Pick up an application in Student Services North and bring it to a Peer Tutoring session. Why stay frustrated? Join today. For questions, email [email protected].
Students, please plan ahead: Students choosing to take classes for enrichment or credit during the summer at Diablo Valley College, Los Medanos or De Anza need to make sure they have spoken to their school administrator and have a district concurrent enrollment form approved by their school administrator prior to June 14, 2012. Forms are available in the school office. Don’t risk foregoing a course this summer because you did not get your form approved in time. The last day an administrator will be available to approve your concurrent enrollment is June 14, 2012. **************************************************************************************** ******** FOR TEACHERS ONLY: The new web store is up and running. Parents are now able to see exactly what they have paid to CP for their students. It is imperative that all money a student pays to you is run
through me. For those of you who collect lab donations, please advise your students that the new web store is: https://intouch.mdusd.org.
