Supplemental Educational Services (SES) are a federal Title I, Part A requirement for schools that failed to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) as defined by No Child Left Behind for three or more years.

Supplemental educational services provide extra help to low income students in eligible schools in the areas of reading or math. Services can be provided before or after school, on weekends during the school year.

The eight Bethel School District schools that qualify to receive SES for the 2011-12 school year are Centennial, Camas Prairie, Evergreen, Rocky Ridge, Roy, Shining Mountain, Spanaway and Thompson elementary schools. Parents of students attending these schools will receive information explaining their SES options.

Eligible students who attend a qualifying school can receive free tutoring by providers on the state approved SES provider list, obtained from the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). OSPI conducts an approval process for providers once a year and then publishes the list. Parents must select their SES provider from the OSPI list.

Tutoring takes place outside of the regular school day. Providers indicate if they provide online, after school or weekend times and location of services. Transportation will not be provided—parents will be responsible for transporting their child to/from location. SES provides a limited amount of tutoring for each student. OSPI sets a “maximum” amount of funds allowed for tutoring per SES qualified student. This year each student qualifies for $1,117.00 in tutoring services.

To qualify for SES services in Bethel School District, students must meet the following criteria:

• Attend Centennial, Camas Prairie, Evergreen, Rocky Ridge, Roy, Shining Mountain, Spanaway, or Thompson elementary schools;
• Qualify for free/reduced lunch. A free/reduced lunch application for 2011-12 must be completed and processed through the district’s Student Nutrition Department; and
• Complete a registration form with two choices of approved SES providers and parent signature. Send it to the address listed on the application by October 24, 2011.
