News & Announcements

Amundsen’s after-school tutoring is back in session after the winter break. Tutoring is available every Monday-Thursday from 3:00-4:30 pm. Tutoring is a place where students can go to make up tests and quizzes, work on missing assignments, get extra help from teachers, or just use as a place to keep themselves accountable. Students need to sign up each day that they plan to attend. The links to access the schedule and the tutoring room can be found on the student page of Amundsenhs.org.
The first semester ends on February 4th and students are encouraged to go early and often so that they can end the semester strong. Any questions, please email oprappas@cps.edu.
