When school opens in September, parents and students will find a welcome increase in high quality, affordable after school program opportunities at six elementary and all three middle schools. These programs will combine academic, enrichment and recreational activities so that students can learn, relax and have fun in a safe and supervised environment. The Extended Day Programs are tied to the academic school day. Whether students need extra academic support or are ready for accelerated challenges, they will find it through such activities as tutoring, small group instruction, homework centers, GATE and specialty academic mini-courses. The Extended Day Programs will include both existing activities as well as additional activities based upon student interest.
State subsidies provide a significant portion of the program cost.
At elementary schools a program fee will be charged according to a sliding scale designed to make the programs affordable to all students and their families. If you would like to participate in your school's collaborative, please call 644-6504. Each new Extended Day Program is open to all students at each of the participating schools.
