Due to Covid-19, 21C afterschool programs will look and feel a little different this year.
We are hoping to pilot a few in-person programs beginning the week of October 5th using the models below. There will be no after school classes in-person on Wednesdays, however virtual opportunities will be explored. If you have any questions, please email Suzanne Skaflestad, 21C Director: [email protected]
JFK 21C Afterschool Covid-19 Model: The goal is to keep interested students within their school day classroom (homeroom) for afterschool opportunities on the days they
are in the school building. (Mon/Tues and Thurs/Fri). We want to work with the school day structure as much as possible. Teachers and other staff that are available and interested in teaching afterschool will be assigned to a specific classroom (homeroom) based upon the level of interest/need of students in that classroom (homeroom). This model allows for the JFK 21C afterschool to take place without combining students across grade levels.
WMHS 21C Afterschool Covid-19 Model: The goal is to keep interested students within their school day PODS for after school opportunities on the days they are in the school building. (Mon/Tues and Thurs/Fri). We want to work with the school day structure as much as possible. Teachers and other staff that are available and interested to teach afterschool will be assigned to a specific POD based upon the level of interest/need of students in the POD.
The Library Welcomes You program for middle school students will also look a little different this year. Maeve Poleman will be overseeing the library program from 2:35-4:30. She will provide additional supervised support to students after school in classrooms within the POD structure from 2:35-4:30. She will also be available virtually for students on Wednesdays. Maeve is looking forward to supporting our students after school in meaningful ways.
THRIVE LICENSED AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
