PEER COUNSELING PROGRAM
Peer counselors are students chosen during the middle of their junior year to work with underclassmen primarily in our Career Program. They are usually nominated by faculty members, but can also submit a self-nomination. They are trained and supervised by the guidance counselors with whom they will be working, and are expected to assist one period per cycle in the Career Center. Their service extends from the beginning of the second semester of junior year through the end of the first semester of senior year. They also meet with incoming freshman students during orientation week in September, and introduce their assigned students to the environment of St. Francis Prep.
For further information on this program, please contact Mr. Sileo or Mr. Lombardo - moderators of this program.
TUTORING
If you are interested in volunteering as a Peer Tutor: Please complete the application, or pick one up in W101. If you were a tutor or mentor last year, you do not need to get teacher recommendations again. But, if you are a new member, please ask just one teacher from each subject area (you select to tutor) to sign the application, which will indicate they recommend you for this position.
If you are a student in need of a tutor: Please stop by W101 and select a tutor from the book. Once you find one, you will be asked ot fill out a form. Within a few days after that, Mrs. Logan or Ms. Coccia will send for each person and introduce them after Cor. At that point, a scheduled time and location will be established. Each level has designated "sign in" books to keep track of the meetings.
It's a program that works well when both parties are committed to the scheduled appointment times to meet and use this time efficiently.
