Once enrolled in our Roots Program, students are welcome any time Monday through Thursday from 4 - 7 PM at either our Norwood or Medfield learning centers. We ask that students arrive on the hour. Students are not limited to any specific number of monthly sessions as long as they are being productive and cooperative.  

Students or Families must register for the Roots session at least 24 hours in advance or they can text Tara or the Learning Center Director within 24 hours for an exception.

When Students enter a Roots session, the Learning Center Director will give them a Green Sheet linked here. 

The Learning Center Director will then collect these papers and move to the Roots lesson of the week (collection of lessons linked here). 

For the next 10 minutes, the Learning Center Director will lead the group on the weekly Roots lesson from the Roots workbook.  

Once the Roots lesson is complete, the Learning Center Director will prioritize students based on their Green Sheets and position them in the space in a way that would best support their goals. 

Students will begin to work, often focusing on the tasks in 8-minute increments. 

The Learning Center Director will circulate with students and encourage them to use their Roots Tools as they complete their work. 

If the Learning Center Director believes that Roots Repair is necessary, he/she will encourage the Student to seek out the support of the Roots Repair math or reading tutor. 

If the Learning Center Director believes that Bridge support is necessary, he/she will reach out to the Family and discuss scheduling the Student with a Bridge tutor. Watch the video here for an explanation of Roots vs. Bridge.

At “quarter to” the next hour, the Learning Center Director will ask Students to begin to clean their space. Before Students leave each session, they must complete the Green Sheet and submit it to the Learning Center Director.
