We are applying for grant funds for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program for Walker Elementary and need parent input and feedback.
What is 21st CCLC?
The 21st Century Community Learning Center program is a multi-year grant, funded by the US Department of Education, and administered by the Arkansas Department of Education. Its' mission is to provide a safe, fun, and challenging after-school environment where students can learn, play, and grow.
What does 21st CCLC Provide?
The 21st CCLC program would provide academic support activities and enrichment opportunities to Walker students, and offer activities to parents of participating students as well. Students would have the opportunity to receive academic tutoring and homework help and participate in enrichment classes such as technology, music, EAST, science, recreation, and art. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
How can parents be involved?
Parents would be invited to use the school library and computers and could choose to participate in any enrichment activity that interests them. Each school develops specific programs to meet their students' needs.
Why do we need a parent survey?
