After School Programs
Elementary After School Program
Allegany County Public Schools will begin offering an after school program for six of our elementary schools this year. These schools include: Beall Elementary, George's Creek Elementary, Westernport Elementary, John Humbird Elementary, South Penn Elementary, and West Side Elementary Schools.
This program will positively impact student grades, provide enrichment in English, science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), and connect students with partners that support STEAM, health, environmental literacy, college, careers, civic readiness, and drug-free lives. After-school programs are an imperative support mechanism that can substantially increase academic achievement, creativity, health, and wellness for at-risk students in Allegany County.
Elementary schools in Allegany County will expand the academic opportunities for approximately 50 students in each school. The goal of the program is to meet or exceed state standards for "proficient" as measured by the state assessments. The objective is to increase performance in reading, math, and science, and to promote civic engagement, college & career readiness, enrichment opportunities, environmental stewardship, and living a drug-free life.
This program centers on after-school activities such as tutoring, homework assistance, hands-on education, enrichment, and physical activities, and STEAM-focused instruction. Academic instruction includes instruction and tutoring in math, reading, science, and technology. Students are provided a hot meal.
