Scheduling Reminder

Find 22-23 School Calendars Here: kapowlfs.com/training

Plan around the standardized testing calendar! We encourage you to complete the program ASAP before testing starts!

Virtual Options Only If Needed

Examples of specific situations for virtual lessons:

Volunteer lives outside of South Florida
Volunteer has unforeseen issue making commuting to the school impossible (e.g. car won’t start) and cannot reschedule the lesson (e.g. volunteer and teacher already know that standardized testing schedule conflicts with volunteer’s schedule for the rest of the Spring semester)

A virtual lesson is better than no lesson at all.
