Kindergarten to 4th Grade
Objective: To improve the performance of the participating students in their studies, bring them up to grade level in math, reading, and science and to improve their performance in the state mandated tests. Ultimately, the objective is to make school a more pleasant experience that will encourage them to stay in school, graduate, and go on to college.
Schedule: The After School Program is conducted in the Hancock Middle School from 2:30 PM until 5:30 PM on Monday through Friday.
Director: The 5-9th After School Director is Tina Appley. Tina has worked at the after school program since 2008 and has completed her New York State School Age Care Credential from After School Works New York, a Membership Association for the after school professionals in New York State. This certification is a testament to her professionalism and dedication while providing high quality services in School Age Care here in New York State.
Curriculum: The students are divided into teams and rotated through the prescribed activity periods. Immediately upon convening, the students are given a snack and drinks to revive them after a day of schooling. Conferences between the director and the students’ teachers identify areas in need of improvement. The students are rotated through tutoring sessions conducted by certified teachers and supervised by the director and professional staff. The focus is on homework and other work identified by the class room teacher. The students are rotated through a computer training period, a supervised play period, and art or music enrichment.
Funding: In 2017, HCEF was awarded a Round 7 21st Century Learning Center Grant to operate the programs for 3 hours per day, 5 days a week.
