PAE 21st CCLC PASS Program
21st CCLC PASS Program
Webster Public Schools is pleased to offer 21st Century Community Learning Centers programming at the Park Avenue Elementary School for students in Kindergarten through grade 4 in the hours after school and in the summer. Our goal is to encourage student interest in learning by making a connection to their school day through engaging curriculum and project based activities with an emphasis on academics, social emotional, and service learning in an enjoyable, comfortable and safe work space. The goals of the 21st Century Grant are:
- Strengthening student learning through the implementation of effective instructional practices that promote and support DESE's Vision for deeper learning .
- Creating a learning environment that inspires meaningful, sustained student engagement through the development of a coherent and holistic range of programming that contributes to the development of mastery, identity, and creativity for students.
- Cultivating systems that support the whole child and foster joyful, healthy, and supportive learning environments so that all students feel valued, connected and empowered to make informed choices in life and are prepared for college and careers.
- Effectively engaging in linguistically and culturally sustaining ways, students with identities that have been historically marginalized in educational settings.
- Using data effectively in designing programming that addresses student needs.
Student who qualify will be invited.
