Rio del Mar's Free After School Program will be expanding for the upcoming 2006-2007 school year! Our program will be starting on Monday, August 21st and will run Monday through Thursdays, as in previous years. In addition, parents will be pleased to know that this year we will be opening up the program to include grades 2nd through 6th each day. In the past we did not provide after school support for 2nd and 3rd grades on Tuesday and Thursdays. On Wednesdays we did not provide for 4th, 5th and 6th grades. At the beginning of the year on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, the program will run from 2:05 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. On Wednesdays the program will be open from 12:05 - 2:05 p.m. This is the same amount of time we have ended the program in years past.
This program expansion is contingent upon the funds from Proposition 49 being released. If this funding is not allocated to our site, the program may revert to what we have offered in the past. The grant also requires our site to average 80 students per day. Consequently, if we do not meet this requirement, we may not receive the grant in upcoming years. At the beginning of the school year I will be updating this blog to keep you informed of any changes. Furthermore, various enrichment classes will be offered throughout the year. These enrichment classes will include: Chess, Arts and Crafts, Dancing, Ceramics, Sports, Acting, African Drumming, Computers and possibly more.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and remember to consider Rio del Mar's Free After School Program when making your children's after school arrangements for the upcoming year. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at: jmarsweet@hotmail.com.
