Tutorial was developed at Aliso Niguel High School as an opportunity for students to acquire extracurricular help, seek out teachers on a one-on-one basis, and to work cooperatively with other students. Tutorial is required part of the instructional program where attendance is taken daily and is required. Although teachers have developed their own specific classroom rules for tutorial, the following are school-wide guidelines for the Tutorial period:
- Every student must be in tutorial room by the beginning bell. Anyone caught outside, for any reason, will be swept to C.S.I., and assigned Afternoon School.
- No hall passes are allowed for any reason. IN an emergency, teachers must call an administrator or campus supervisor to escort the student to the desired location.
- Students must go to one of the classes on their current class schedule. To ensure a spot in the class of a student's choice, he/she must sign up in advance with the teacher of his/her choice. Once signed in, the student is given priority for attendance in that classroom for that day.
- Teachers are encourage to allow no more than 30 students in their classroom and to lock the doors when the bell rings or 30 students are present who have priority to say in the classroom.
- Students are expected to us eth tutorial time productively. If a student does not, the teacher may send the student to C.S.I., where he/she will receive an Afternoon School.
- All students must sign in on the Tutorial roster once they are in the classroom.
Teachers will use the following priority criteria when allowing students to attend tutorial in his/her classroom:
- Students who have the class on their schedule and have previously signed up for that day.
- Students who have the class on their schedule regardless if they signed up or a student who has previously had the teacher, and received prior approval from the teacher to attend.
