Guidelines
• A+ participants must perform a minimum of 50 hours of unpaid, school-based, academic tutoring. Tutoring may begin when the A+ student has met the following:
- Accumulated at least a 2.4 grade point average
- Accumulated a 95% attendance record

• All tutoring/mentoring must be arranged through the A+ Coordinator.
• Tutoring must be done on Miller School District premises and supervised by a Miller School District staff member.
• Tutoring time needs to be documented on the official Cardinal A+ Tutoring Log and signed by the supervising teacher. The participant is responsible for maintaining her/his log accurately and submitting the log to the A+ Office in a timely manner. ONLY time that is spent “assisting or tutoring” a student will apply towards the time that is recorded on the log. Making copies, grading papers, posting bulletin boards and other such work does not apply towards tutoring time.
• The student is expected to be present for their tutoring assignment and follow the school district rules and conduct themselves in a professional manner.
• Students who travel off campus must provide their own transportation.
• In the event of an absence the student should notify the A+ Office and their cooperating teacher. Student and parent must sign a confidentiality and driving contract.
