High School
This virtual after-school tutoring program for Grade 10 concluded at the 7 high school sites for the 2022-2023 school year on May 6, 2023. This program was implemented on a smaller scale than the 2021-2022 school year because PGCPS teachers (tutors) were offered multiple competing opportunities for second assignments. Students utilized the Achieve 3000 program and No Red Ink, and teachers facilitated small group lessons that guided students through the required weekly activities to impact reading and writing outcomes. Each cohort was eight weeks and tutoring was held virtually, three days per week Monday through Thursday for two hours each day. Students and families selected their designated days and times.

There was only one cohort implemented for the 2022-2023 school year from October 12, 2022 to December 8, 2022; it served 362 students.
