Opportunities for students at Sullivan Elementary School and

Carlisle Elementary/Junior High School

Students who attend Sullivan Elementary School or Carlisle Elementary/Junior High School and are eligible for free or reduced lunch are eligible to enroll in a free tutoring program, known as Supplemental Educational Services (SES). This program allows eligible students to receive free tutoring and academic assistance in subjects such as Reading, English, and/or Math in effort to assist these students in improving their academic performance. These tutoring programs may be offered before or after the regular school day, on weekends, or in the summer. In order to select the tutoring organization that will best meet your child’s needs, please review the list of state approved Supplemental Education Service Providers and a description of their services at the link below. You may also request a paper copy of the Providers from your child’s school. All Providers available to eligible Southwest School Corporation students are able to serve students with disabilities.  Currently, Southwest School Corporation has an open enrollment period.  To enroll your student, you may access an application at the link provided below or contact your child’s school. 

 In 2007-2008, 320 students were eligible to participate in SES at Sullivan Elementary School with 45 students participating.  Carlisle Elementary/Junior High School was not required to offer SES during the 2007-2008 school year. In 2008-09,472 students were eligible to participate from Sullivan Elementary School and Carlisle Elementary/Junior High School, with 57 Southwest School Corporation students participating. If you would like for your child to receive these free services, please complete the SES Application and return it to your child's school office as soon as possible.

Opportunities for School Choice

Title I schools that have not made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for several consecutive years are required to offer School Choice transfers to other corporation schools that are not in School Improvement and have adequate space to accommodate the students. If this is not possible, the corporation must seek alternative schools for School Choice from a neighboring school corporation, which may or may not be willing to accept interested students. 

 For 2008-2009, 7^th and 8^th students at Carlisle Elementary/Junior High School were able to request a School Choice transfer to attend Sullivan Middle School, which is not a Title I school. Currently, 3 students participate in school choice. Sullivan Elementary School students were unable to request a School Choice transfer.

For 2009-10, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students at Carlisle Elementary/Junior High School may request a School Choice transfer to attend Sullivan Middle School.  School Choice request forms must be submitted to the corporation office by Friday, August 7, 2009.  School choice is ONLY offered prior to the start of the school year to current students and to new students at enrollment. Sullivan Elementary School students are unable to request a School Choice transfer as CEJHS is in AYP Improvement and a neighboring school corporation has declined to accept SES students.
