The Community Schools Afterschool Program is offering virtual enrichment opportunities much like activities from familiar clubs, off screen step-by-step activities and challenges, YouTube channels starring familiar afterschool faces doing read alouds, wellness and art activities, individual and small group academic support with assignments, and language support to ensure all of our families stay connected and aware of available resources. Most importantly, our teachers are checking in with families via phone calls or messaging. We are also exploring ways to post some activities on the local city cable channel. All activities are available through online platforms, such as Class Dojo or Google Classroom, making it easy for families and students to navigate. All individual afterschool program links can be found at https://sites.google.com/k12.somerville.ma.us/somervillecommunityschools/home.
Please Note: We have changed our payment options. Please read this before paying online.
