The Math Lab is also open every day from 7am to 4:30pm. The Math Lab is staffed with math teachers and assistants who can help students in any math class.
The Study Cafe is another great place to receive support! The Study Cafe is open during every lunch period and is staffed with teachers and peer tutors who can help students in various subjects.
