Frequently Asked Questions

If I have questions, who do I contact?

Please direct questions about the program to your Site Coordinator. Your Site Coordinator will reach out to appropriate school staff or Dr. Streiff-Stuessy if further action is needed. 

What if I’m going to be absent?

If you know at least one week in advance that you’ll be absent due to appointments, pre-planned events, vacations, etc., fill out the tutor absence form. This helps our Site Coordinators and Admin Assistant plan for your absence so all students can still receive tutoring. If the plans change or get cancelled, reach out to our Admin Assistant to update it by emailing admin@forwardscholars.org. 

If you are entering an absence AFTER NOON on a Friday for the following week Monday or Tuesday, please keep in mind it will not be seen until Monday morning. Please reach out to your Site Coordinator as well as filling out this form.

What if I have an unplanned absence?

Reach out to your Site Coordinator directly if something urgent/unplanned comes up and you can no longer make it to tutoring! The sooner they know, the better so an alternate plan can be put in place.

Where can I find the school calendar?
