HOMEWORK KANSAS

Homework Kansas
With the second semester of the school year in full swing, and
state assessments on the horizon, students, teachers, librarians,
and parents should take advantage of Homework Kansas.
Introduced to Kansans just over a year ago, the free service offers
4th through 12th grade students interactive guidance in math,
science, social studies and English from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., seven
days a week. Math and science assistance in Spanish is available
from 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
Homework Kansas automatically connects participants with a tutor,
who could be any of 1,300 teachers, graduate students and other
professionals scattered across North America. All tutors are
subjected to background and reference checks.
To access Homework Kansas, students simply need to go to www.homeworkkansas.org and enter
their Kansas Library card from their local public library or school
library. The service can be accessed from any internet-connected
computer. If the student does not already have a Kansas library
card, they can acquire one for the State Library of Kansas at the
same site immediately.
