Need Extra Help? Saturday School Tomorrow!
Two more Saturday Schools left! Our next Saturday School will be tomorrow from 8:30-11:00 am in the Library. Our last one before finals will actually be a Wednesday School, on Wednesday, May 21, 2019, from 3:15-5:45 pm. Students should enter through Door #1. Saturday School is a service provided by Buffalo Grove High School to help students raise a grade, make up missing work due to absences, or just find a quiet place to complete work. A small selection of BG staff and National Honor Society tutors are available at Saturday School. Though help at the honors and AP level is not always available, Saturday School can provide an environment for collaboration, guidance, and support.
