Lancers and Lyons Learning Center

Norton Middle School has some exciting news to share with our school community. After a hiatus of several years (largely due to the pandemic) Norton Middle School is pleased to announce our renewed partnership with Wheaton College and the reinstitution of our Wheaton Tutors program, which will henceforth be known as the Lancers and Lyons Learning Center. The LLLC began back in 2011 and ran with great success here at Norton Middle School up until 2020. 

The LLLC is intended to serve as supplemental support for any student who needs it across grade levels and content areas. Wheaton tutors will be available for students who need it after school, Monday-Thursday until 4pm Students may come and receive assistance with a variety of academic tasks, including help with homework, writing assignments, and quiz/test preparation. 

Here are some important things to know regarding participation in the after school LLLC:

- The LLLC will meet  in the NMS cafeteria or Library, directly after school ends

- The program runs 3-4, Monday through Thursday only

- Students must have work that they need to do, and/or are having difficulty with. 

- This program is NOT intended for any student who wishes to "hang out" after school and socialize with friends.

- This program is NOT intended to serve as an after school program for families who have no other option for their students after school

- Students who are unable to focus on academic work will be given a warning and then may be asked to leave due to non-compliance

- Students who choose to stay must either have transportation home at 4:00 or wait for the late bus which arrives at 4:15

- Wheaton students are unable to access Google Classroom or any other school based software programs

- Parents are responsible for communication with their students about permission to stay on any given day, and attendance will be taken on a daily basis

We are excited to be able to offer this excellent opportunity to you and your students. We are fortunate to have such a strong community partner like Wheaton College. We hope that students and families are able to take advantage of this opportunity. We anticipate this program beginning on Monday 9/23, and running until the first week in December.  We also anticipate being able to offer drinks and snacks on select days depending on availability and participation.  

We hope to see you there!
