After-School Offering
Social and Emotional Learning
Daily 6:00pm-7:30pm
According to Committee for Children, social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process of developing the self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success. People with strong social-emotional skills are better able to cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially. From effective problem-solving to self-discipline, from impulse control to emotion management and more, SEL provides a foundation for positive, long-term effects on kids, adults, and communities.
After-school programming will provide an opportunity for students to drop in, socialize with Youth Leaders and their peers and discuss topics supporting SEL.
There will be social hours and activities made available daily. We are currently gathering student interest.
After-School Tutoring and Homework Help
Daily 3:00pm-4:00pm
The after-school program is working in collaboration with the academic day to provide tutoring, homework help, and support with virtual platforms for students who may need assistance.
