Chelmsford Public Schools Partners With 'Paper' Support Platform

CHELMSFORD, MA — Chelmsford Public Schools has partnered with Paper, an online academic support platform, to provide its students in grades 5-12 with accessible, after-hours tutoring and academic support, said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jay Lang announced Tuesday.

Partnered with more than 270 schools in North America, Paper offers scalable, 24/7 academic support to students, particularly when teachers are not accessible. The platform has over 1,000 certified tutors and offers its support in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French and Mandarin.

“This is an exciting partnership for our district,” said Lang in a statement. “I believe our students will benefit from Paper with its wealth of offerings and flexible after-hours academic support. The timing of the partnership is critical and provides our students an additional resource to assist with the transition back to full-time learning after more than a year of hybrid and remote learning.”

The CPS partnership with Paper is funded through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund grant, which was signed into law in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
