Student Nomination Form: Accelerate
In-Person Matches 

Welcome to the Boston Partners in Education student nomination form for our In-Person Accelerate program offering. Accelerate is designed to support students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, in one-on-one or small group (2-4 students) matches. 

Requesting In-Person Accelerate Support
The Boston Public Schools recently updated the district-wide outside visitor policy in schools to reflect the current health and safety conditions. BPS has designated Boston Partners in Education as a direct service to students, which allows our volunteers to return to schools in-person once we have received permission from school leaders. 

If your school leader has already granted us permission to join you in-person, your school will be listed on the nomination form below. If your school is not currently listed as an option on the form, please reach out to Sara Kilroy at [email protected] and she will contact your school leader as soon as possible.

If you are looking to nominate high school students or whole classrooms, please review our program offerings here and decide which is best for your students.

Terms & Conditions

Please verify that you agree to the following terms and conditions:
  1. I will provide adequate space and materials for mentors to work with their students.
  2. I will provide the mentor with a designated space. This can be in a classroom with one specific set of students, or in a shared space with programming occurring at different times with cleaning by each program volunteer at the end of their session.
  3. I will ensure that the student(s) is following the COVID safety guidelines, including wearing a mask during the session and calling the mentor if they have been a close contact to a COVID case. 
  4. I will communicate with the academic mentor(s) to discuss student progress and provide feedback.
  5. I will fill out a survey from Boston Partners in Education two times per year regarding student progress.
  6. I will assist Boston Partners in Education in collecting parent permission slips by sending them home with students and submitting them to Boston Partners in Education staff.
  7. I will respond to periodic email check-ins from Boston Partners in Education staff.
  8. I will update Boston Partners in Education staff if the students served by the match change.
  9. This request has been approved by my principal/headmaster.
