Forest Park...On January 25th, Proviso Township High Schools began providing Supplemental Educational Services (SES) to support the academic achievement of PTHS students.

SES is a free tutoring and academic acceleration program offered to support students in improving their skills in reading, language arts, and mathematics. Through SES, students can receive extra help after school, on weekends, and during intercessions at no cost to the family.

“The goals of our SES program are to ensure that we provide students with resources to increase their academic achievement, provide options to parents to help them ensure that their children receive a quality education, and to provide support for the district as we work toward the goals outlined in our school improvement plan,” said Dr. Cheryl Pruitt, PTHS 209 Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction. “We encourage our parents and students to sign–up and take advantage of this opportunity. We are offering students extra help at every turn in order to better prepare them for work in the classroom and beyond.”

The SES features representatives from various educational assistance providers. PTHS will continue to offer free tutoring services at Proviso East and Proviso West High Schools. Parents must complete an SES application to register their students. To see a description of the tutoring programs available and to sign-up, please click here.
