After School Program
"The 3 L's" Learning Lessons for Life
|
|
The After School Program was established by City Council to assist in improving reading at grade level, academic achievement and self improvement. It is a partnership between the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities and Richmond Public Schools. The program allows children who are in kindergarten through fifth grade, to participate in educational and recreational activities each and every day of the school year! We promote the "learning is fun" philosophy.
No Fee for the After School Program
The After School Program is offered at no cost and is available each day that the schools are open. The program begins immediately after school is dismissed and ends promptly at 5:45 p.m. Children must be picked up each day by 5:45 p.m. Staff members are Richmond City employees. Adult volunteers from various organizations in the community assist with the program.
2007 Registration
Registration will be held September 4 - 7, in the school cafeterias (see locations listed below) after school until 5:45 p.m. Parents need to bring a copy of their children’s latest health records and, if applicable, a TANF registration number. Registrations are taken until the enrollment is full. Parents must complete the registration packet at the site. A waiting list will be maintained when the site reaches capacity.
