Email to Parents - 1/4/23

Parents and students,

OTHS is thrilled to announce a 24/7 online tutoring service available free to all OTHS students called Paper. Paper can be accessed at school, home, or on the road so your student can receive academic support in a variety of subjects whenever and wherever they need it. Through the website or app, students will be connected with one of Paper's content-specific tutors within seconds through a live text chat. Students will also be able to submit writing assignments for review and feedback, receive assistance with college applications and resume writing, and get help in preparing for college entrance exams. Paper provides support in multiple languages and tutors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Please see the following resources to familiarize yourself with what Paper has to offer:

• Video introduction: Nothing Should Stop Learning - Paper
• Paper’s impact on Val Verde Unified School District: Paper's Impact on Val Verde USD
• Parent testimonial: Parent Perspective on Paper
• Parent and guardian launch page: Parent and Guardian Launch Page

All OTHS students will receive training on how to access Paper during advisory periods on Monday, January 9th. For those of you who would like to get started before January 9, students can visit app.paper.co and click on the "Forgot Password" link to receive an email that will help them set up their login information. 

We are confident that Paper will serve as a valuable resource to support your student's learning experiences at OTHS. Thank you for your time, and we wish you a wonderful start to the spring semester.
