Dear Parent and/or Guardian:

Help your child succeed in school-sign up for free tutoring! As a result of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, your child can receive extra help in the approved subject areas. You can receive this free tutoring because your child’s school is in its second year (Lebanon Grade School has not made adequate yearly progress on state tests for at least three years), and your family meets the income limits under the law.

You can choose a free tutoring program that is best for your child. These programs have been approved by the Illinois State Board of Education and will provide your child with tutoring that is coordinated with what is being taught in school.

When deciding which tutoring program is best for your child, you may want to consider these questions:

*When and where will the tutoring take place?  

*How often and for how many hours in total will your child be tutored?                                                

*What programs, by grade levels and subject areas, are available for your child?                                

*What type of instruction will the tutor use (small group, one-on-one, or computer)?                         

 *Can the tutor help if your child has disabilities or is learning English?                                                        

*What are the tutor’s qualifications?

If more students request tutoring than can be served through available funding, priority will be given to low-performing students as determined by the district.

Please call Jeff Teasley at 618-537-4553 if you have any questions about these services. Applications are due by Friday, May 31. You will receive a letter from Jeff Teasley by Friday, June 7th, telling you when the free tutoring will start.

Thank you,

Dear Lebanon School Community,

I would like to take this opportunity to express my excitement to be the Superintendent of Lebanon School District #9.  Lebanon School District has a reputation of excellence.  I feel fortunate to be a part of a district culture focused on student learning, a commitment to high expectations, innovation, and collaboration.  It is my intention to carry on and build upon these important traditions.  My goal is to allow our students to find education to be meaningful and motivating in order to become life long learners and achievers.

Lebanon residents are keenly aware of the importance education plays as the foundation of our community.  This awareness cultivates a desire for excellence in our schools to provide our children the optimum opportunity for success and to provide an education that prepares our students for their role as citizens of Lebanon.

I look forward to an outstanding year at Lebanon CUSD #9.  We believe we are here to serve the families of our district.  With my “open door” policy, feel free to stop by and visit with me anytime.  I think you will find me to be open, honest, and compassionate.  

Yours in education,
