Dear Elementary Parents and Guardians,
As you know we have had after school programming provided to our schools through Frida Kahlo from the 21st Century Grant. This grant and programming will be ending in June. The district has been researching other after school programming options for the 2023-24 school year. We are excited to announce that the nationally recognized after school student enrichment program provider Right at School is coming to District 2! Beginning with the 2023-2024 school year, Right At School will run the district’s after school programming for Johnson and Tioga schools.
Every day, students that are engaged in the program will have a healthy snack, engage in dynamic fitness activities, student-driven projects, team building, leadership development, and have the opportunity to complete homework. Right at School also features an enriched curriculum in the form of three-week units. Examples of units include “Getting Down to Business,” where students are introduced to money and commerce; “Icky Experiments,” where students experiment with sticky substances to learn chemistry; and “Variety Show,” where students rehearse and perform individual talent acts. We are excited to join other local school districts in partnering with Right at School to provide this exciting program to our families.
The Right at School program will run after school until 6:00 p.m. 5 days a week for kindergarten through 5th graders. Families that are interested in registering for this program are asked to commit to 5 days a week. The program will be free to families for the next school year due to State Relief funding provided to lessen the student achievement gaps due to COVID.
Right at School is hosting an in-person “Family Information Night” on Tuesday, May 23rd at 6:00 pm at Tioga School in the cafeteria. A Spanish interpreter will be available at the meeting. Your children are welcome to attend. We will have supervision for students in the gym during the presentation. The presentation will provide an overview of its program, answer questions and provide Right at School the opportunity to learn more about the District 2 community. However, if you prefer to join virtually the link is below:
