Important Upcoming Upward Bound Information and Events

Extra Tutoring Opportunities

Upward Bound parents and students, with midterms coming up, we're providing an additional tutoring opportunity on Wednesday, October 12th at Avila University. Tutors in math, science and other areas will be made available for students with need. Time spent at Avila will go towards required tutoring hours for October.


Students that want to get additional tutoring will be picked up from their respective schools at dismissal (Ruskin 1:40, Grandview 11:35). Students can be picked up at any time but tutoring will end at 5:00.

To sign up or for questions, please contact the Upward Bound office 816.501.2438.
