Has your child struggled with math this school year?
Our Summer MATH TUTORING NIGHTS are held to prepare for success in the Fall. This is a FREE Community Program in Math Fluency for rising fourth to sixth graders.
Tuesdays June 17th-July 29th from 6:30 - 7:30 PM (except for July 1st)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Courthouse Road Church of Seventh-day Adventists (CRC) in South Richmond/North Chesterfield, VA invites community members to support our Summer Math Fluency Program for rising 4th–6th graders. This initiative addresses the significant decline in math performance following COVID-19 school closures, offering local students a chance to regain skills and confidence. The program will run on Tuesdays, 6:30pm – 7:30pm, from June 17th until July 29th with the exception of July 1st . Volunteers from the church and community are welcome.
BACKGROUND
CRC responded to reports of national math decline during the COVID-19 school closures by launching a pilot Math skills tutoring program. Recent national data supports that Virginia has seen the largest decline and slowest recovery in math scores nationwide. Eighth-grade scores dropped 8 points (287 to 279) and fourth-grade scores fell 11 points (247 to 236) between 2019 and 2024. Given continued concerning reports of a slow recovery in math scores, we want to relaunch the program for six weeks this summer.
VISION
CRC will host weekly Math Fluency Nights, offering small group sessions by grade level led by trained volunteers. Students may repeat sessions as needed and bring
questions from the past school year. Light meals or snacks will be provided to participants and volunteers.
NEEDS
We’re seeking help in the following areas:
- Facilitators: No teaching experience required; background checks via the SDA Church required.
- Curriculum Support: The workbooks selected in 2023 are available for use. However, we welcome a volunteer(s) to review and update workbooks and tools.
- Check-In: 1–2 volunteers needed to assist with student and volunteer registration.
- Hospitality: Volunteers needed to plan, shop for, and serve simple meals/snacks.
- Marketing & Outreach: Help promote the program to local schools, design flyers, and manage pre-registration links.
