AFTER SCHOOL/EVENING PROGRAMS

 

 

EXTENDED DAY PROGRAM

 

The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board shall operate an Extended Day Program designed to provide a minimum of one hour academic assistance to children on a daily basis.  Extended Day Programs will seek to be extensions of the school day and not isolated programs.  In addition to the academic component Extended Day Programs shall be encouraged to provide enrichment opportunities for the children to foster physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of each child.

 

Goals:

 

  1. To provide Extended Day Programs for children to enhance academic and social learning.  

  2. To create partnerships between non-profit organizations and the school system to deliver educational services to our children.

  3. To provide a safe, well-supervised environment in which students may participate in enriched academic, social, and cultural activities.

  4. To provide strong accountability to help assure that academic objectives are being met.

 

Objectives:

 

  1. Achieve documented academic growth for each child who participates in an academic Extended Day Program.

  2. Provide enrichment opportunities and social skills for all children in Extended Day Programs.

  3. Develop an Extended Day Committee which would be composed of all the school and agency participants to oversee the Extended Day Program at each site. Functions of the committee are to hire and evaluate staff, assure that there is a link between the school day and the Extended Day Program, and assure that all programs involved in the Extended Day Program have objectives and means to meet those objectives.
