 What are Supplemental Educational Services (SES)?
 Supplemental educational services (SES) are academic programs beyond the
school day designed to help students improve academic performance. Depending
upon the provider, this service could take the form of one-on-one tutoring, small
group instruction, or distance delivery (via computers or over the phone).
Who chooses the SES provider for my child?
One of the most important features of SES is that the parents are the ones who
will make choices for their children. You'll be able to choose from among
different types of services, given by different providers, at different locations. Parents get to decide which provider is best for their child. Also, there is no
obligation to enroll your child in SES. This is merely an additional option for
eligible students.
Is transportation provided?
It is important to note that the district is not responsible for providing
transportation to students for supplemental services.
Will all eligible children be able to enroll in the program?
There are only a limited number of spaces in the SES program, so we may not be
able to enroll every child whose parent applies. Until we hear from all parents
whose children are eligible, we can’t guarantee that your child will get a space.
Is priority given to lowest achieving students?
In compliance with the federal law, we will give first priority to the lowest achieving students. The achievement level will be based on the student’s score
on the statewide assessment program. In the case of a tie, we will select students
by random lottery.
What is the application deadline?
If you decide that you want to enroll your child in the SES program and choose one of the providers, we must receive the application by November 30.
Please mail or deliver the application to:
ASD Title I Program
ASD
Education Center
5530 East Northern Lights Blvd.
Anchorage, AK, 99504.
If
the application is not received by November 30, your child may not be able to
participate.
When will we know if our child's application has been approved?
We will let you know by December 14th whether or not we have approved your
child’s application to participate in the SES program. At that time, we will also
provide you with additional information on the next steps to begin services with
the provider.
Will there be a chance to meet SES providers?
An SES Provider Fair was held on September 20th, 2007. This gave parents a
chance to meet SES Providers, ask questions, and get assistance with completing
applications. The SES Provider list contains contact information for each Provider, so a parent can use that contact information if s/he has questions for a
Provider.
Who are the SES providers approved by the state for this district?
A list of state-approved SES Providers is available here; however, some on the list may not provide services to the Anchorage School District during 2007-2008.
