Dear Parent/Guardian,
Help your child succeed in school – sign up for free tutoring! As a result of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, your child can receive extra help in the areas of math, reading, and language arts. You can receive this free tutoring 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.
According to the standards set by the Ohio Department of Education, the Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy has been identified for improvement because it has not been rated on state measures of academic achievement. We will be sending you more information in a few weeks about how you can help us improve the school in these areas.
For now, you can now choose a free tutoring program that is best for your child. A complete list of approved tutoring programs for the state of Ohio is enclosed and can also be viewed at: Ohio SES Lookup. These programs have been approved by the state department of education and may be able provide your child with tutoring that is 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 (at school, home, a community center)?
• How often and for how many hours in total will your child be tutored?
• 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?
If you would like to select a tutor now, you can fill out the enclosed provider selection form and return to Mrs. Mays no later than Wednesday, November 5, 2008. You will receive a letter from Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy by Friday, November 14, 2008 telling you when the free tutoring will start.
Finally, if you do not wish to sign up for these services, you may also choose to transfer your child to another school. The enclosed School Choice letter gives more information about school choice in our district.
Thank you.
