1. After we receive the Family / Student and School Referral applications (see links below), the information is reviewed and eligibility is determined.

2. If the student is accepted, the family will be called and invited to New Family Orientation.

3. The child will be tested to verify they are performing below expected grade level in reading and/or math. Students may begin attending while test results are pending, as soon as we can pair them with a Reading or Math Coach.

4. If the student's schedule does not match available tutoring time slots, or if there are fewer openings than applications, his/her name will be placed on a waiting list.

Enrollment Process
Roughly 80% of our referrals are from students' schools. Typically, the teacher starts the process by discussing the student's situation with his/her family and recommending FLI. This does not mean referrals have to come from the student's school; families may apply without a referral. Either way, however, both the family and school must submit an application before a student can enroll (download forms from links at bottom of this page).

Applications are accepted year-round (rolling admissions), though students are encouraged to enroll at the beginning of a semester. Applications are considered in the order they are received.

Applications may be picked up at each AAPS elementary school or at FLI, may be downloaded from the link below, or, upon request, will be mailed to a family. Please make sure applications are filled out completely.

Any student meeting all four of the following conditions may enroll at FLI:

1) Be in grades 2-5

2) Reside in Washtenaw County

3) Be reading or performing in math one or more grades below their expected grade level.

4) Be part of families defined as "low income" by the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) -- total household income must be less than 75% of the median in Washtenaw County. This would include any child who qualifies for Free & Reduced School Lunch. For 2011-2012, a family is eligible if its household income falls below the limit for a household if its size, as follows:

2 persons - $51,400
3 persons - $57,800
4 persons - $64,200
5 persons - $69,350
6 persons - $74,500
7 persons - $79.650
8 persons - $84,750

We stress that we not only enroll the student, we enroll the entire family. Each family is expected to read at home regularly, adhere to our attendance policy, encourage the student to take responsibility for their own learning, support their child's efforts, and monitor and discuss home reading.
