Dear Parents and Guardians,

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of an opportunity being offered to your child.  As part of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) your child may be eligible for tutoring at no cost to you.   The program is designed to increase your child’s academic achievement, test scores and meet the state standards. 

The NCLB act gives parents a choice in their child’s education.  You may have the opportunity to choose a tutoring program, or Supplemental Educational Service from a list of state approved providers.  These services are over and above those ordinarily provided in the regular classroom during the regular school day.  You will be responsible for arranging transportation to and from the provider you choose.

Parents interested in this exciting opportunity must choose a tutoring service from a state approved provider.  The approved providers are posted on the New Jersey Department of Education Web site, or you may see a revised list of local providers attached.  At your request, your child’s teacher or principal can assist you in selecting an appropriate provider.

You have the option of choosing from ANY of the supplemental educational services on the NJDOE website.  Due to limited funding and the number of student’s eligible, enrolled students will be prioritized according to need. 

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity and enroll your child in a supplemental educational service please fill out the enclosed form and return it to your child’s teacher by November 6, 2007.  Please call or e-mail me with any questions your may have.

I hope you will join us in supporting our students and teachers as we work towards the continuing academic achievement of all of the students at Golden Door.

Sincerely,

Lisa Lupi

NCLB Coordinator
