Dear Parent/Guardian,

Help your child succeed in school by signing up for free tutoring! As a result of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, your child could possibly receive extra help in the areas of math, reading, and language arts. This free tutoring is available because your child’s school is in its second year or later of “school improvement,” and your family meets the income limits under the law. There is a possibility that the district will be not able to provide this service for all families, in which case students will be chosen to participate based on academic need (as well as previously mentioned financial need).

We will be providing Supplemental Educational Services (SES), for students enrolled in Wetumpka Middle, Millbrook Middle Jr. High, Eclectic Middle, Holtville Middle School Airport Road, and Coosada Elementary. So, please fill out the SES form on the back of this sheet and return it to your child’s homeroom teacher.

A list of SES providers in your area is indicated at the bottom of this letter. These providers have been approved by the State Department of Education and will provide your child with free tutoring that will be coordinated with what is being taught in school. When deciding which tutoring program is best for your child, you may want to ask these questions:

·  When and where will the tutoring take place (school, home, or community center)?

·  How often and for how many hours in total will your child be tutored?

·  What programs, by grade levels and subject areas, are available for your child?

·  What type of instruction will the tutor use (small group, one-on-one, or the computer)?

·  What are the tutors’ qualifications?

·  Can the tutor help if your child has disabilities or is learning English?

·  Is transportation available to and from where the tutoring will take place?

Please call Linda Williams at (334) 567-1290 ext. 2600, if you have any questions about these services.
