HEARTS After School Program Starts Monday!

Here are the basic facts:
It's free!

We are starting the program FULL, with over 100 students already enrolled.

There is now a waiting list for additional students.

The program runs every day, from 2:40 until 6 p.m.

Attendance is required every day.

Students will have an academic hour, a snack, and finally an enrichment/recreation time.

The Emerson HEARTS Coordinator is Annie Miekosz.

Emerson teachers will teach during the academic hour.

The YMCA will staff and coordinate the enrichment/recreation hour.

There will be a daily homework completion/support time.

At 6 p.m., parents will pick up their child from the cafeteria door on Ottawa Ave.

Extending the learning day will be the greatest benefit for our students.  Other schools who have HEARTS, have found that students are often able to move up one entire performance level (i.e. Basic to Proficient) during a one year period.
