SFA has Title I reading and math teachers provided by the New York City Department of Education. Classroom teachers of grades K – 3 may recommend students whom they feel require additional instruction. Once written parental consent is received, students take advantage of the program during school hours.

This remediation is extended to the students of grades 4 – 8 based on the results of the Terra Nova assessment and/or NYS Standards Test Programs. This remedial assistance exists for the school year. In addition to the formal reading and math programs, classroom teachers make themselves available before and after school and at lunchtime for students needing or requesting assistance.
