Duell's "Homework Help Club" project is a response to parents and students requesting on-site homework assistance. Because the home environment can be distracting, many students find it easier to complete homework at school. The safe, adult-supervised Homework Help Club is held in the school library four days a week. The library also has a computer lab where students can research various assignments and write papers. Teachers, parents and community volunteers are available to assist students with their homework and to provide a supervised environment for middle school students during hours when many would otherwise be left home alone.
