Please double check the Homework Tracker at the start of every tutoring session. The Homework Tracker is updated by our teachers daily and includes upcoming homework and tests for all of our classes. If your student has completed all of his work from the Homework Tracker, he may study for an upcoming test, practice skills with flash cards, or read a book.

If your student is absent, Loyola Academy will do our best to let you know ahead of time or we will pair you with another student who will benefit from one-on-one support that day.
