RAP Begins Tuesday, Nov. 5
RAP is a free after-school program for K-5 students. It runs from 3:35-5:00 pm Tuesday through Thursday beginning Nov. 5 and ending April 16. Students are grouped by grade levels based on the number and grade levels of enrolled students (uUsually
K-1, 2-3, 4-5).
The RAP teachers love it because we get to see the kids in a different light. The students love it because they get homework help and to do fun activities. In fact, every year, the students are very sad to see it end, and former RAP students are constantly asking about when it will begin in the fall.
Each day begins with students doing homework or reading for about 30 minutes while eating a snack (3:35-4:05). This is an opportunity for students to get extra help from a teacher with their homework if they need it. Then, students participate in an activity that lasts for about 40 minutes (4:05-4:45). These activities are planned around the teacher’s talents and student’s interests and include many possibilities. Some activities we have done in the past are: cooking, games, outdoor play, appropriate computer games/activities, crafts, puzzles, science experiments, etc. Then students are walked to the front door to be picked up while staff monitors.
If you are interested, ask your child’s teacher, Amy, or Mickey for an enrollment form.
