The Writing Center is here for the benefit of both teachers and students at Waynesville High School. We understand that teachers are exceedingly busy and do not always have the time to give every student individual attention. Our goal is to relieve some of your stress. Located in the Media Center, at least one highly qualified student occupies the Writing Center per class period, ready to offer valuable writing suggestions and rewarding discussion to all students. Writing is an invaluable skill, and is useful in ALL subjects, not just English. We are ready and willing to conference all types of writing for any class. Please do not hesitate to make conferences mandatory, or to offer incentives for your students to visit the Writing Center this year. All we require is a prompt/topic for their assignment and a rubric that we can use as a guideline for our conference. And, as a courtesy towards our tutors, we ask you to please give your students a warning in advance of conference requirements to avoid overcrowding. Conferences usually take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the student and assignment. If students are given an extensive assignment, feel free to communicate with Mrs. Polzinetti. We strongly encourage you to utilize the Writing Center and our range of services to its full potential. We are excited to collaborate with both you and your students during the 2019-2020 school year!
