THE PROGRAM'S PRIMARY OPERATION IS FROM 3:00PM - 6:30PM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. HOWEVER, DUE TO COVID-19 WE TRANSFORMED OUR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM INTO AN ALL-DAY ACADEMY CALLED ESSENTIAL-COVID-19 ACADEMY THAT OPERATED FROM 8:00AM - 5:30PM MONDAY - THURSDAY. THE MAINSTAY OF THE PROGRAM IS TO BECOME AN EXTENSION OF THE CLASSROOM BY PROVIDING HOMEWORK HELP AND TUTORING IN MATH AND READING. COMPUTER-BASED READING AND MATH ASSESSMENT SOFTWARE IS USED TO MEASURE AND ASSESS PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IS ENCOURAGED THROUGH VOLUNTEERING.	Desc
