What is the 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC)?
This federally funded program supports a learning center that provides Newport Independent Schools’ students with academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours. It also offers students exposure to diverse recreational, social and cultural enrichment activities. In addition, the CLC provides family-focused activities to help promote parental engagement between school and home.
What does programming look like?
Beginning in early September and ending in late May, programs operate on schooldays Monday through Thursday after school until 5pm. Programs begin with a healthy snack followed by focused academic support known as WIN (What I Need) Time and then enrichment activities.
Summer programming typically runs daily through the month of June from 8am-2pm. Each day starts with a breakfast, academic WIN Time, lunch then fun enrichment activities or field trips.
How do I sign my child up?
Registration forms are available at the front desk of each school or by contacting a member of the 21st CCLC Staff listed below. All students must submit a completed registration form to their respective staff member. Once received, staff will contact families to communicate when their student may start or if they are added to a waitlist. SPACE MAY BE LIMITED.
Is there a morning program?
At this time, there is no morning program.
Who leads programming?
Academic support sessions are led by certified school personnel. This allows students the opportunity of more individualized instruction and relationship development with their school-day teachers.
Enrichments are led by a mixture of community partners, school staff and volunteers. Everyone working with students is subject to a background check.
