Under No Child Left Behind, one campus in the Irving Independent School
District, Lorenzo de Zavala Middle School must offer free tutoring to
students who receive free/reduced lunch priced meals. According to the
Texas Education Agency, the services must be of high quality,
research-based, and designed to increase the academic achievement on
the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) and to assist
students in meeting the state's academic achievement standards.
As
a parent you may choose the tutoring provider from the attached list of
state approved providers. The tutoring will be of no cost to you if
your child continues to be eligible for free and/or reduced lunch in
2007-2008. You will also collaborate with the district and provider to
set goals for your child, to determine how and when progress will be
measured, to determine how the information will be communicated to you
and teachers, and to set a timetable for improving achievement.
Since providers will not have your names, you will need to use the
contact information on the attached list to learn more information
about the providers. If you would like your child to participate in
the free tutoring, please review the provider list, select a provider,
and complete the enclosed Application for Supplemental Education
Services. The completed form should be returned by no later than
September 27 to the principal's office at Lorenzo de Zavala Middle
School. Once received the district will arrange for services and
contact you with further information.
Also, please feel
free to contact the campus principal, Mr. John Rose at 972-273-8912 for
any assistance.
