Student enrichment outside of school hours
Extended Learning Opportunity (ELO) programs provide students with homework help, enrichment clubs, and - as part of its mission - a safe space for students to grow and learn outside of school hours. ELO programs, coordinated through the Language, Culture, and Equity Department, are held during after-school hours and in the summer at Title 1 and in PSD.
Goals - ELO programs give students opportunities to:
- Learn in a safe environment with positive adult role models
- Socialize with peers in a healthy manner
- Receive academic support
- Engage in enriching activities that may otherwise be unavailable
- Learn sportsmanship and cooperation during recreational activities
- Become active members in their community
