Elementary school students benefit greatly from the language arts and mathematics reinforcement this program offers. Parental involvement is crucial for student success. The Office of Minority Achievement Programs provides personnel and financial support for this worthwhile endeavor. Currently, identified at-risk students in grades 4 and 5 participate in extended learning activities in the BASE Project. This project provides the 4th and 5th grade students the necessary support needed in reading, math, and other core subjects, twice a week after school.
Bus transportation is provided for eligible bus riders.
The 2nd and 3rd grade students are involved in a similar support program which provides earlier intervention in reading and work study skills. The PTA Enrichment Program at Barcroft School provides an opportunity for students to continue their learning after school. Classes are offered to allow students to learn a new skill, to enjoy a creative endeavor, to expand their knowledge in an area they already study, or to try a sport. Classes are held after the regular class day, usually on early-release school days. Past classes have included ceramics, kung fu, computer, art, chess, basketball, tile-making, and gardening.
