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. 186598 48992 THE FORGE SUMMER CLUB SERVED OVER 61 STUDENTS FOR 8 WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER. THE GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS A FUN EXPERIENCE, WHILE MEETING THE PRACTICAL CHILD CARE NEEDS FOR PARENTS.

THE ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES WERE DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS RETAIN WHAT THEY HAD LEARNED DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. 168392 8710 THE FORGE ATHLETIC DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM INCLUDES AN INTERNAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE FOR YOUTH AGES 5-10, AND THREE AAU BASKETBALL TEAMS.
