• SES Tutoring Request Form (English)
    Request Form (Spanish)
    The Supplemental Educational Services (SES) program is part of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001. Through the SES program, parents can get free tutoring services for their children. These services provide extra help in academic subjects, such as reading, language arts, and mathematics, to students who may be struggling in school. These services are typically delivered outside the regular school day-before or after school on weekends or during the summer months. This tutoring must be in line with state academic standards and connected to the school district's instructional program. Eligible families choose an SES provider from a list developed by their state. School districts pay providers directly for services. The SES program encourages states to approve a variety of organizations as SES providers, thus giving students and families the largest possible range of quality options.
