What is Peer Helping?

• Peer helping is about helping other students with a wide variety of things from homework help to social skills to a friend in need. Peer Helpers are there for students by choice, meaning they want to help out students in their school community. Some of the duties a peer helper has are guidance for students, a friend in need, homework help, and working on skills, student interaction, and many more.
• Peer helpers meet with their assigned students once a week for the last 20 minutes of a period.

How Do I Become A Peer Helper?

• Ms. Keith’s office hours are Monday - Friday 7:30am - 3:30pm.
