John DeLacio
Pine-Richland Cross-Age
Tutoring Program

December 7, 2007

Dear Parent/Guardian,

My name is John DeLacio, and I am a senior at Pine-Richland High School. I have grown up through Wexford Elementary, the middle school, and now I am at the high school. Last year, I ran a pilot program of a “Cross-Age Tutoring Program” across the district. After one successful year, I am looking to continue the same program once again!

Students from the Pine-Richland Middle School and High School have signed up to serve as tutors after school for the children at the elementary schools. These students can make arrangements with you to tutor your child in your home once a week. You and the tutor will decide upon the time and day of the week. The session should not last more than 30 to 60 minutes per week. This is a win-win situation because your child is tutored and the middle school tutor earns community service credit.

If you are interested in this volunteer service, complete the form attached to this letter and return it to your elementary school office by December 21, 2007. You are welcome to contact me by email (prlax80@yahoo.com), if you have any questions about this program.

Sincerely,

John DeLacio

I would like an after school, middle school student tutor for my child. I understand that tutoring sessions will last between 30 and 60 minutes and will take place in my home or a neutral location at a mutually convenient time. I will verify the community service hours by signing the tutor’s volunteer action report. I understand the tutoring will be of a general nature and will involve reinforcement of skills.
