After-School Tutoring Available to 3rd & 4th Graders in Assumption Parish Schools

Students who are needing assistance in reaching their targeted academic growth rate in English/language arts and math can participate in after-school tutoring, beginning now and extending through the month of April, in advance of the 2023 LEAP testing period.

Superintendent Dr. John Barthelemy said the tutoring program is being funded through a federal stimulus grant, as part of the American Rescue Plan Act, which was enacted in March 2021 to aid public health and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. All funds from the federal grant must be obligated by Dec. 31, 2024, and spent by Dec. 31, 2026.

Barthelemy noted that each school is customizing its tutoring program according to its specific resources.

“The times and frequency of the tutoring sessions will vary from campus to campus. We encourage our parents to check with their schools to ensure their child has access to the instruction, and that they are aware of the times and dates of the instruction,” Barthelemy said.

Parents of students who are recommended for the program should have received a letter from the district, he said.
