MATH & READING WITH FRIENDS

The Future Stars, with assistance from the PTO, will be offering both Math With Friends (“MWF”) and Reading With Friends (“RWF”) this fall! For new members of the community, MWF & RWF is LT’s after school tutoring program. These programs provide students with small-group instruction geared to existing levels of ability.

Both MWF & RWF will start on 9/8 and conclude on 12/5.

Financial assistance is available for families as necessary – please reach out to Ms. Isaacs at aisaacs@thefuturestars.net to apply.

Availability in both programs is constrained by the number of teachers opting in to teach. As such, seats will be allocated first & foremost according to academic need. In order to register your interest in either (or both) programs please complete this Form HERE:

Please note the following regarding the MWF and RWF Form:

The form is now live and will remain open until 11:59 PM on August 17th. NO LATE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
A separate form MUST be submitted for each student.
End of Year Math & Reading scores are required in order to form groups of students with similar abilities. THESE SCORES CAN BE FOUND ON EACH STUDENTS DCPS TERM 4 REPORT CARD. For students coming to LT from a non-DCPS school please use the final question in the form to provide qualitative feedback on a student’s ability-level.
The Future Stars will directly communicate to parents ONLY IF a spot is offered to your student.

Should you have any questions or technical difficulties please don’t hesitate to reach out to Ms. Mahni mhellams@thefuturestars.net. You can also text Ms. Mahni @ 301-337-7068.
