WHS is offering an after-school tutoring program called CASH (Collaborative After School Help), previously called Homework Club, to provide academic support in subject areas, organization and study skills for any student with an IEP. These sessions are offered 3-4 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in room D103.

All students with an IEP are eligible, and it is a great opportunity for students to catch up on work, complete homework, get extra help in subject areas, get help with organization and learn new techniques and study skills to help them get ready for tests.

Students may participate for one day, two days or all three days.
