Good Evening everyone.
The e-mail you have been waiting for has finally arrived… the math resource center will begin operation tomorrow morning! Here are the particulars:
The schedule is attached and is shown below and it does not change from week to week. Please take note of the fact that two nights a week, Tuesday and Wednesday, you can get math extra help during study hall, from 8 pm to 9 pm, in WB, otherwise known as the Middle School. If you want to take advantage of evening study hall tutoring, make sure you sign out of the dorm and into your tutoring session!
The Math Resource Center is located on the first floor of the Schoolhouse at the end of the hall right next door to Mrs. Choo’s office.
Every period during which tutoring is offered, one of the teachers from the math department will be available in the math office to assist the tutor if needed (so far this support has never been needed!)
You do not need to make an appointment, and you do not need to stay for the entire period or the entire hour in the evening. The math resource center tutoring is a drop-in service.
On the other hand, you are welcome to come every week at the same time to work with the same tutor(s) if that works well for you.
You must bring your math materials, including your book, to the resource center and/or the Middle School. At the moment all of the student edition copies of our math books are on reserve in the library – we don’t have any extra!
We encourage you to use this resource wisely. The tutors can help you with many different areas of your learning such as with homework questions, with concepts you just don’t quite ‘get’, and with preparing for quizzes and tests. We hope you will soon find the great value in working with students who want to help you succeed.
If you have any questions about the Resource Center, please speak with your math teacher.
Sincerely,
Ms. Anderson, the Math Department, and the Math Tutors extraordinaire!

Each year about 1.5 million students in more than 22,000 high schools enter the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the PSAT. About 3 percent of those taking the test qualify to receive program recognition. As a result of their scores, this year Williston has nine students who qualified for this recognition. During All-School Assembly on Friday morning, Associate Head of School Jeff Ketchum reminded juniors and sophomores, who will be taking the test this next Wednesday, that the PSAT was more than just practice for the SAT, it was also a chance for national recognition and possible scholarship money. The following seniors received certificates at assembly:
