If a student needs other times (ie: mornings, lunch, excel, other days, etc) students need to contact me directly so that I can schedule a tutor to meet with him/her. For situations like this, a few days notice is needed. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at carolyn.milian@stjohns.k12.fl.us
