A live tutor is available 24/7 on HelpNow and it can be accessed from our Library website. It has resources from grades K-college and is available in English and Spanish. Some of the popular sections in HelpNow include the Writing Lab (students get feedback on their essays), SkillSurfer (tutorials organized by grade and subject), and FlashBulbs (flashcards and games).
Also, our newest Library location is open at John Landes Community Center (2855 Cedar Road) and is open M-F 9am-6pm.
TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR GRADES
1. Go to office hours and get help from your teachers.
2. Email your teachers if you think that an assignment did not submit or if you submitted an assignment and it is still marked as "missing" or a zero
3. Check your Aeries grade book every day or at the end of the week to look at your grades, if you have concerns, contact your teachers.
4. Go to virtual tutoring for more support.
5. Contact your counselor if you need additional help staying organized, study skills, or if you are feeling overwhelmed.
Use Study Stack to review and study for all subjects.

Monday - Western Traditions - Whether your student is studying Ancient Civilizations or European History, this series covers it all..and it’s fun to watch! Visualize the ancient world through the age of technology, with a tapestry of political and social events woven with many strands — religion, industry, agriculture, demography, government, economics, and art. A visual feast of over 2,700 images from the Metropolitan Museum of Art portrays key events that shaped the development of Western thought, culture, and tradition.
Tuesday – The World of Chemistry- Chemistry is hard! Help your student with extra instruction and discussion. Join with experts to observe chemistry in action and learn the laws and principles of this dynamic field.

Working industrial and research chemists of all backgrounds serve as role models.
