The Fulton County School System’s Title I Department will host a Supplemental Educational Services Providers’ Fair on Saturday, February 6.

The free fair runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Teaching Museum South, located at 689 North Avenue in Hapeville, and offers parents an opportunity to meet with tutoring providers and learn more about their services.

The No Child Left Behind Act requires schools in their third consecutive year of not making Adequate Yearly Progress to offer supplemental educational services – or free tutoring – to students. These services provide students extra help in reading, language arts and math, and are made available before or after school, on weekends or during the summer. Schools must make Adequate Yearly Progress for two consecutive years in order to be exempted from the NCLB tutoring services requirement.

Qualifying students must attend one of the following schools – Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary School, McNair Middle School, Renaissance Middle School, Paul D. West Middle School, Banneker High School, Creekside High School and Tri-Cities High School – and also meet the criteria for the free and/or reduced meals program. Students enrolled in other schools are not eligible.

Parents can either attend the fairs to learn more about the tutoring options, or they can contact the school to register their child.
