The Englis Language Arts Lab

Room 15
Lori Johnson, ext 258
Colleen Lee, ext 286

Thank you for visiting the English Language Arts Lab (ELA) page. Tutoring is available, outside of the workshop times, for test prep, general help on the units, or writing.  Sometimes we can accommodate walk-ins, but appointments work best.  The student, parent, or facilitator can set up an appointment with Coleen Lee by stopping in Room 15 or calling 245-4262 ext 286. 

The lab atmosphere must be quiet as many students will be using our computers for the Taylor Reading and the Criterion Writing Programs.  Therefore, if a student is going to be doing schoolwork during a “free” period in Room 15, it must be Reading, English, or Language Arts related.  Those that come unprepared may be sent to their facilitators.

English 4 tutoring available on an appointment basis.  Please stop by Room 15 to set up a time with Colleen Lee (245-4262, ext. 286) OR Alice James (Room 14, ext. 361.)

English 1, 2, and 3 tutoring appointments available with Colleen Lee by stopping by Room 15 or calling extension 286.  Walk-ins are welcome and will be accommodated when possible.
