After School Care Early arrival care is provided for students at Partnership Elementary by the Partnership Elementary staff. After school care is provided by the Oberlin YWCA or the YMCA on Hillsborough Street. These programs provide a safe and stimulating environment for students whose family situation requires child care before and after school hours. Field Trips Field trips are designed as an educational experience for students at Partnership Elementary. They meet curriculum needs at each grade level.
Field trips are an extension of the classroom into the community.
They are an excellent opportunity for all students to experience the rich community in which they live. If you plan to volunteer for a field trip, you will need to make other arrangements for younger siblings. All families attending Partnership Elementary signed a letter of agreement to volunteer on a monthly basis. It is our expectation that when you cannot fulfill your commitment to an activity you make every effort to get another parent to cover your absence. Volunteering at Partnership Elementary is a critical part of our school community and the day to day operations of the school.
