HOMEBOUND TUTORING INFORMATION FOR WAUKEGAN STAFF MEMBERS

Waukegan teachers or other certified staff are eligible to work as homebound tutors. The teachers must have a valid teaching certificate on file at Lincoln Center. The rate per hour will be established by district-negotiated contract.

If you are interested in serving as a homebound tutor, an application needs to be completed and returned to Julie Pasqua, Homebound Tutoring Coordinator at the AOEC/Stephens Center (1020 Glen Rock). Blank applications can be picked up at the Stephens Center Main Office. They are not available online.

All prospective tutors should refer to the Homebound Tutoring Handbook, which carefully outlines the policies to be followed by tutors, teachers, nursing staff, and students.

Sample Payroll & Attendance Sheet: This form documents tutoring hours (one hour per school day) and student attendance hours (1/2 day for each hour of tutoring).  The student's parent/guardian MUST sign this form each day to verify the days of tutoring.  The attendance official at the child's home school MUST sign this form each week.  The payroll sheet will NOT be processed with out these signatures.  Completed forms are to be submitted bi-weekly or monthly to the Homebound Tutoring Office.  Click on Payroll & Attendance Sheet for a sample.
