21st Century After-School program

We are very excited to offer our Heatly School Community extended school day programming for students K-6 and paid Work-Based Learning opportunities for eligible high school students.

School Day Program Elements

We are providing additional high quality academic intervention services in literacy and math for K-2 students and literacy, math, science and social studies for students grades 3-8. These program services will be provided from 2:00-2:45 p.m. daily.

After School Program Elements

We are offering up to 50 students grades K-8 after school enrichment programs from 2:45-5:45pm Monday through Friday when school is in session. Every participant will receive a  healthy snack, enrichment activities such as music, the arts, technology and academic clubs. In addition there will be homework help, recreational activities and tabletop games promoting social skill development. We will be hiring interested high school students to work in the program, enabling them to learn and practice workforce readiness skills.

Please return the bottom portion to your child’s teacher by September 15. There will be further information regarding formal program registration and an official start date coming soon!
