We’ve LOVED seeing so many of you in Academic Coaching these past few weeks and months!

  • To work on academic tasks in a small group quietly;
  • As an alternate space to meet with teachers and/or tutors.

You should NOT use 606 as a place to gather socially. 606 will be closed when there is no adult supervision. Thank you for adhering to these guidelines, so we can maintain the integrity of the Academic Coaching space!
