Tutoring is FREE to your child if you meet ALL of the following:
1). You live in Plainfield;
2). Your child receives free or reduced lunch; and
3) A Plainfield Public School.
Contact the AYP Academy at 908-595-2106 or send an email to Tiffany@aypacademy.com.
Do not let your child fail due to YOUR inaction...take advantage of this FREE service!!!
AYP is not the only SES provider. Good post on services, but for detailed information parents can visit the schools. They have information on all the programs and services available.
ReplyDeleteAYP may not be the only ones...but they are the only ones that reachout to the community to let it be known this service exists. The least I could do is post it for parents. Now let the conversations BEGIN!

Hello-
ReplyDeleteI contacted Tiffany at AYP and I was told that PAAAS school (the school my daughter attends), is not eligible for free programs but they have rates that start at $95/month. I don't mind paying the rate, as my daughter needs help with Algebra, however PAAAS is a school in the Plainfield Public School System, why isn't this an approved school?
That doesn't make any sense at all. Talk with The school's prinicpal to see what services they are offering. Let me know. (Renata)
ReplyDeleteOkay thanks Renata, I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteThe free tutoring program falls under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 which states that a school designated "In Need Of Improvement" must offer the income eligible students in that school either school choice or supplementary education services (free tutoring)
A school is designated as "In Need of Improvement" if it does not make AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) for 2 consecutive years. This means that the students have not met the State's minimum requirements.
PAAAS does not meet this criteria. I have to double check, but Im quite sure it is because the school has made AYP.
The current eligible Plainfield schools are Hubbard, Maxson, Cedarbrook, Emerson, Barlow, and Evergreen.
If you got to the NJDOE website---Grants----EWEG------NCLB----Search for Plainfield-- you will be able to see how the NCLB funds have been allocated to the various schools in the district. It is all public record.
I hope that this clarifies things.
