Expanded Learning Program Elements:
Attendance
The program begins at the end of the regular school day Monday through Friday and closes at 6pm.
There is no longer a required length of attendance per day. However, if your student did not attend school that day, they cannot attend afterschool. Afterschool care may not be used for a drop in service. If your student has consistant absences from our program, we will make every effort to communicate with you before removing your student and replacing them with a family from the waitlist in need of care.
Academic Support – Includes 45 minutes of daily academic support. During this time your child will be encouraged to complete their homework assignments. Staff will supervise and assist students and provide one on one help if needed. Students who do not have homework will have time to read a book or participate in other academic activities.
Enrichment – Enrichment experiences allow children and youth to explore, investigate, learn, and build skills that enrich educational, physical, and social-emotional development. Enrichment activities may include fine arts, character development through curriculum and play, nutrition education, etc. Enrichment components will be scheduled throughout the year and will follow a weekly schedule. Outside instructors may provide extra enrichment services to the students.
Recreation - Recreation opportunities for students include arts & crafts, games, sports, clubs, and other special recreation activities. At least 30 minutes of physical activity will be provided daily. Other recreation activities may be scheduled for 2-3 times a week.
