Manuscript Tutor Schedule

Hey All! This is for Manuscript Tutors:
I am thinking we should do a similar setup to last year's Manuscript - rotating days.
Each of you will be assigned a day to be the "main" tutor. If it is not your day, you are still expected to help if more students come in to get work reviewed.

Here's an example of our first schedule, starting the week of September 1: (Written with your initals)
Monday: NO SCHOOL
Tuesday: M.A.
Wednesday: H.S.
Thursday: NO SCHOOL
Friday: M.T.

Week of September 8:
Monday: D.B.
Tuesday: A.N.
Wednesday: E.K.
Thursday: M.A.
Friday: H.S.

Week of September 15:
Monday: M.T.
Tuesday: D.B.
Wednesday: A.N.
Thursday: E.K.
Friday: M.A.

Week of September 22:
Monday: H.S.
Tuesday: M.T.
Wednesday: D.B.

Let me know if you have any other ideas/suggestions. I'll post a new schedule every month, and put one up in QRT.

Peace,
Adlai
