We strive to bridge learning from school day to afterschool day (this includes PBIS) reinforcing content and strategies.

Through this, we strengthen the bridge between our families and our school and further anchor our school to our community.

  • Seek to enhance what students are learning during the school day, building upon their knowledge base and skills. We can help them connect to the content in a new, different,  and exciting ways that the traditional classroom format cannot support.

    • Provide opportunities to explore and practice known and unknown concepts in varying non-traditional no-pressure settings can build students confidence. This could encourage stronger connection to the content, which could improve performance in the classroom.

    • Spark our students’ interests, enthusiasm, curiosity and willingness to learn* outside of traditional classroom spaces and methods.

    • No sharing materials/interchanging of materials
