We hope your child and family had a productive and happy summer. While another exciting and challenging school year is around the corner, I am, as well as all our teaching staff, are ready to help your child achieve a higher level of academic goals.
We are very proud to announce that our school has been approved by a New York State Education Supplemental Services (SES) as one of the official NCLB providers. Our outstanding performance in assisting students to exceeding and meet the NYS English and math proficiency standard has been fully recognized and rewarded. http://www.p12.nysed.gov/nclb/ses/ApprovedProviders/allkidscanlearn.html
Supplemental Educational Services (SES) is a federally funded program that provides academic tutoring in reading, English language arts, and mathematics, free of charge to eligible students in eligible schools. We are also pleased to read our students’ excellent 5th grade NYS exam results. 90% of our students reported top ELA and math scores. Many students have reached reading Level Z in school and are now all qualified to take year 2012 Hunter Exam. Under the New York State tougher grading standards this year, 100% of our students in grades 3 to 6 met or exceeded proficiency standard, scoring at a level 3 or 4, in English and math while only 43.9 percent of city students in grades 3-8 in ELA and 57.3 percent in math achieved NYS proficiency standard.
We have been implementing a much more rigorous academic-enrichment element to compliment the existing homework-help component of the program. We are also offering advanced junior and high school courses in science, math, writing and language arts. There are some major CHANGES this year.
We continue to offer Chinese Language enrichment classes in the after-school program and on Saturdays for children of all ages and ethnic background. Our goal is to expose the youngest children to a second language when their window of opportunity is still wide open.
