Opportunities for students at Fairview & Highland Park Elementary
School
Students who attend Fairview or Highland Park Elementary School and are
eligible for free or reduced lunch are eligible to enroll in a free
tutoring program, known as Supplemental Educational Services (SES).
This program allows eligible students to receive free tutoring and
academic assistance in subjects such as Reading, English, and/or Math in
effort to assist these students in improving their academic performance.
In 2007-2008, 537 students were eligible and 88 students participated in
SES in MCCSC. These tutoring programs may be offered before or after
the regular school day, on weekends, or in the summer. In order to
select the tutoring organization that will best meet your child’s needs,
please review the attached list of state approved Supplemental Education
Service Providers and a description of their services.
If you would like for your child to receive these free services, please
complete the SES Application and return it to your child's school office
as soon as possible.
School choice transfers are offered in schools who have missed AYP for
several consecutive years. For 2008-2009 students at both Fairview and
Highland Park Elementary were able to request a school choice transfer
to attend one of the schools on the approved list that is not in school
improvment and which has space to accomodate the student. School choice
is ONLY offered prior to the start of the school year to current
students and to new students at enrollment. Schools on the approved
list for 2008-2009 were Arlington Elementary and Marlin Elementary. In
2007-2008 Fairview was the only school offering school choice transfers,
315 students were eligible and 42 participated in school choice.
