Fall 2008
Dear Parent or Guardian:
Your child may be eligible for tutoring that takes place outside of regular school hours, at no cost to you. Please be aware that this tutoring is completely different from the after school program offered by the Parma Learning Center.
According to the federal
No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (
www.nclb.org), schools receiving Title 1 funding that are in their second year or more of Needs Improvement status must offer supplemental educational services to eligible students. These services are designed to help students achieve state standards in reading and mathematics.
As required by law, the district has determined which children are eligible for services based on family income level. In order to receive services, parents/guardians must request the services and select a provider from a state list of approved providers. A brief description of possible providers is enclosed.
If you are interested in your child receiving supplemental academic services from one of the designated providers, please complete the form and return it to the school by November 2. If you are unsure about which provider to choose, please check the appropriate line on the form and I will contact you to provide you with a recommendation based on your child’s needs.
All requests will be reviewed and you will be notified as to whether your child will be able to receive the services. The federal government establishes a maximum dollar amount that our school must make available for supplemental services. If funding does not allow our school to fulfill all requests, priority will be given to students based on objective criteria that relates to academic achievement.
If you are notified that your child has been selected to participate in this program, our school and the provider will enter into an agreement with you regarding the services.
Please call the Federal Programs office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Lianne Yamamoto
Federal Programs Supervisor
