The Walton Central School District has partnered with Paper to give students in grades 4-12 the ability to access online, live tutors 24/7.
Paper is a secure, online tutoring service that provides students with unlimited, 24/7 academic support. Whether students are stuck on homework, studying for a test, or need someone to read and make suggestions to their essays, there will always be experts available online to assist students in more than 200 subjects and more than four languages.
The service begins Monday, February 14, and is funded through the American Rescue Plan grant.
“We are excited to form a partnership with Paper for 24/7 tutoring in grades 4-12,” Walton Central School District Superintendent Dr. Michael MacDonald said. “The benefits of this are immense to our students as it allows them to meet all of their live tutoring needs at any time of the day and any day of the week.”
Paper tutors have been specially trained to conduct expert, academic support in a secure, chat-based platform. With a commitment to helping students learn, they’ll never give students answers, but rather interact with them in an encouraging tone to lead them forward.
“Students will be encouraged to use this service as much as they need,” MacDonald said. “Walton CSD teachers also have accounts and will be able to review student activity, which will allow them to see where they may need to provide more targeted instruction, if needed.”
Parents can learn more about this service by signing up for a Paper-hosted parent information session (https://pages.paper.co/webinars-for-parents-and-guardians). Parents can also reach out directly to a member of the Paper team by emailing parents@paper.co.
Parents are also encouraged to sign in with their child(ren) to see everything Paper has to offer. To get started, visit Paper’s student login page at: https://app.paper.co/login/student. Once there, type your school’s name and log in via Google using the student’s school credentials.
