And uh this evening we're going to be um discussing afterchool program. And I'd like to call up Heather Suentes. Oh, okay. Good evening. Um, we are super excited to be here tonight to share about the expanded learning program. I think at this point in time, expanded is really holding its name to to what we've been doing over the last year. We have coordinator Kellen Quac or Hennessy here. She's going to go through some of the slides. And then we have some special guests. We have two of our site coordinators. We have Nate Hec and Megan Groody from the Citrus and

003the Hooker Oak program. And then we have some extra special guests from Hooker Oaks after school program which are our students who are going to be sharing about some of the the um things that they're doing in the program. So they have some excitement. They've been preparing a lot. So they'll be the closer for us. So without further ado, we'll kind of get started and going through and I'll introduce Ken to take the lead. Hi everyone. Um like Heather said, I'm Ken Claw, Tennessee. I'm the administrator for the expanded learning programs. Oh, do I get to take the wheel? Oh yeah, there it goes. Um so our mission in expanded learning, we're a we're a big umbrella that covers most things that happen outside of the school day for our TK through sixth grade students.

004Um so expanded learning opportunities program extends learning beyond the traditional school hours. We provide a safe, structured, engaging environments for our students so they can explore interest, receive academic support and develop essential life skills. So we have um multiple programs in our expanded learning department. Um the ones that most are most talked about are afterchool programs. We have three different options for afterchool care. Um the first one is our largest program which is our blast program. um that serves all 12 elementary schools, TK through fifth grade. We have our new homework heroes program that does now serve all 12 elementary schools for just first through fifth grade. And then we have a program at our junior highs for just our sixth grade students. Um all programs are grant funded through two different funding sources and

005all of them are no cost to all families. There's no income requirement, anything like that. Um our other programs um that are other out of school time programming are before school program. We currently have before school starting ranging about 6:30 a.m. to 7 at 11 of our 15 schools. Next year we will have it at all 15 of our schools. Um we have our inter session uh programs which are our camps. We have four four of our camps which I'll talk a little bit more about. Um and then we have some enrichment groups and that was another special guest we have is one of our teachers from our enrichment group at Citrus tonight. Um these programs are also all no cost to families. So, just this graphic was sent out to families and it is

006helpful to see the difference between our three elementary programs. They're all free for families, the different grades that can um participate, what time they release. So, we do have a six a program that's until 6 or until 4. Um what the attendance requirements are for each of those programs and what the program components are. So, so our blast programs um include a supper meal, um homework and reading time, some enrichment play, whereas our homework heroes is a smaller snack, just homework and reading and outdoor play, and then on Fridays we have enrichment. So, just a uh a timeline of how our programs got to where they are today. So, we they started in 2004, so it's been quite the journey now. Um with just six sites, uh Chapman, Citrus, McManus, Neil, Parkview, and Rosedale. So

007those were our title one schools at the time. We got the ACES state grant. Um and things stayed about the same until 2122 school year when um the state implemented the expanded learning opportunities program for every uh school district in California. Um how we decided to expand our programs with that is we started doing a couple of schools at a time to add the BLAST program. So in 22 23 we added Emma and LCC. In 23 24 we added Shast and Sierra View and also TKK programs for all of the 10 sites that existed at that point. And then our final implementation included Maragold and Hooker Oak and then their TKK kids as well. Um this school year we um have received the ACES grant. So we have now 10 of our 12 schools have

008the ACES grant. So we were this year we were awarded Emma Wilson LCC Hooker Oak and Margold. So now we have two different funding streams um for those schools which is really important in case something happens to one of the other ones. Um we actually have applied for Shasta and Sierra View. We should hear back about that in May, but we're pretty hopeful since we were able to get those other four this last school year. Um we also established Homework Heroes this year to give more options to our families that you know the attendance policy were blast. They didn't didn't work for that. You know that doesn't work for them. Um we now have homework heroes. started in October and started rolling out and we were fully implemented by January at all 12 of our

009elementary sites. And next year we look to just add more students um to all three of our options. Um particularly our TKK is where we're starting because we have a lot of need for those um for those spots for those students. Um this is a little bit more about our BLAST program and what our goals are. We provide 60 minutes of academic sus um support daily. Um we do 30 minutes of required reading and then 30 minutes of homework help. If the students don't have homework um then they get do academic activities, games um and they're divided by their age group. So they're with their like um peers for that time. Um then we have enrichment is 60 to 90 minutes kind of depending on what time the school day releases for um different activities

010with creativity, exploration, student engagement. Um, we have a dedicated recreation time every day with um, standard-based PE lessons where our card leaders are doing um, basically PE time with them every single day. Um, our staff is led by certificated teachers. We have instructional pair of professionals and then we partner with CARD for most of our staffing in our BL BLAST program. So, we have about 110 to 160 students per day across each of the 12 elementary schools and hoping to grow that um, next school year. Uh this is still our BLAST program with the credential teacher. We also have two to three uh subteers that work in our program daily. Um there are assistant coordinators. They have to at least be a teacher sub I should say. Um and then our card partnership. We have

011some leadership over at the card level that supports the staff and we have 125 card leaders currently that work in our programs and about 50 uh leader subs that support if if they're out. Um, our ratio for the card leaders is 15 to1 for our first through fifth grade students and TKK is 7 to1. So, they're really getting a lot of the support and attention that they need. Uh, homework heroes um is a little bit different that we um we don't partner with CARD for those um for that program. We use our it's led by one school day um credential teacher and supported by one instructional uh pair professional per 20 students. Um, our goal is to provide a flexible after-school option for our families with no attendance requirement, but with homework help, some tutoring

012support, and then some extra play with their peers. Uh, those programs are continuing to grow as well. And the sixth grade after school program is pretty similar to homework heroes. It has the same hours, same attendance policy. Uh, the difference there is it's actually all uh school day teachers that are working in those programs. So the students are getting a lot of um homework help in um and it is a little shorter because the junior high gets out later. So they are mostly just doing their um academic time and then on Fridays they do enrichment activities. Enrichment activities at the sixth grade level. Yeah. Because they don't have homework on Fridays usually. Yeah. Um although it is an option if they do have a project or something like that, they can work on it. Uh

013this is our daily uh average daily participation. So this isn't how many students are enrolled. This is about how many students participate per day. So, every morning we have about 960 students that come to school between 6:30 and 7:15 prior to when like school would normally be open to um to students to arrive. Um our afterchool TKK, we have about 230 per day um participating blastund uh 1,171 is our daily average attendance. Homework heroes, there's about 100 450 enrolled, but about 383 that are coming each day. and then sixth grade about 215 per day. Um our inter session camps, this is probably one of my favorite pieces of our department. Um we are required to have 30 additional out of um school days per year. So 30 days that we're running nine hours of of

014programming. Uh we choose to do that from 7:30 to 4:30 and this is open to all TK through 6th grade students. They don't have to be enrolled in an afterchool program to be able to participate. Um, so our opportunities include early back camp that are it's open to all TK through sixth grade students and there's enrollment for each camp every single time. There's no prior enrollment needed. They don't have to be part of the BLAST program to be able to participate. Yeah. Um, so those camp opportunities, we have four this typically. um our early back camp which is a week before school starts. Um October Monday is what we'll be doing this coming year um to have that Monday that we don't have school. Uh spring break that we just finished a couple of weeks

015ago and our summer camp that's that's coming up. Oops. Um our program, so early back camp this year we had 348 students participate. Uh December Saturday we had about 118. So, we're looking forward to that October Monday of having more students participate since it'll be uh more likely of parents are going to be working that day since it's not a holiday day off. >> Yes, please. >> Yes. Mhm. Um, so our families get to sign up for that. We don't typically target students particularly, but school day teachers are the ones that are um working directly with those students during those camps. So, they are doing lots of creative lessons um to get them back into reading and to some math skills just to get them prepared. Is that what you're asking? Yeah. Yeah. Great. Um

016we just had spring break camp um and we had 422 students. That was really fun. And this summer we are currently staffed to have 2,200 students participate in our summer camp that will run from June 8th until July 2nd. So actually this year there's only going to be a month off between the last day of summer camp until early back camp starts. Yeah. Um we're going to have I'm going to introduce Mr. Hec. Um Nate is our coordinator at Citrus. He's been with us for four years now and he is going to share a little bit what happens at his program and one of his enrichment groups. >> Good evening members of the board. Thank you for having us. Uh I'm the uh after school coordinator at Citrus Elementary and uh as we mentioned in

017the presentation uh that we follow a a daily uh regiment of enrichments, snack uh recreation and uh at Citrus what we do is on we kind of have a theme during the week so we keep things consistent during the week um to provide you know structure for the program. So Mondays we have a mindful Monday. So on Mondays we generally learn uh about a STEM unit. We were learning sign language one year. Uh we're learning uh you know uh something and then on Tuesday we have trivia Tuesday. So often will be the topic that we learned on Monday or it will be uh something different. And then on Wednesdays we have wacky Wednesdays. Those are kind of minute to win it games, relay races, that kind of thing. On Thursdays we have thoughtful Thursday. That

018happens to be buddy bench day too where uh students in different grade levels can visit uh with each other at combined tables and we also um give compliments on Thursdays uh during our assembly time. So giving shoutouts to kids that show you know exemplary um behaviors and and skills people. And on Friday we have uh fun Fridays and uh we also do kids clubs on Fridays. The kids club is a club that would last four to eight weeks where students sign up for a club of their choice and they can kind of dive deeper into that uh to that subject. Uh we also provide um uh different enrichment weeks during the school year. So coming up um during Earth Day week, we will have STEM week where each of our leaders will teach a science

019activity during the week. We'll have a carnival week where we'll build and play uh carnival games that we create. And then we also have a uh talent show coming up uh at the end of the month. Um I would say that the heart and soul of our program though is our card leaders, the Chico area recreation department leaders. Uh these are generally young people that are high school to college age and they just really put their heart and soul into the program. Uh they really what makes it work. We've been fortunate to have leaders uh return to us to have that consistency and the um the amount of skill and talent that they have uh coming right out of high school into college uh is is really phenomenal. U we have a kind of a

020stripped down version of the school day and the after school program. We don't have all the support positions um but we are building that through the card uh program. We now have inclusion leaders uh provided through the card program to assist students that might need a little bit of extra uh support in that way. Uh one thing I'd like to highlight. Yeah. Uh there are a couple of things that so there is not a requirement to have school day support the same type of school day support they have in after school but we do provide um support to the best of our ability. Um so uh students that need a one-on-one will generally have a one-on-one in that in that situation. Absolutely. Absolutely. Social emotional learning is is what we do, you know, and that's

021and that's kind of u you know, creating those uh those relationships with students. Uh you know, working with our team, make sure that you everybody is included. And uh so at my site, you know, um you know, I talk to kids about uh you know, you always got to ask what you need. Can't read your mind. You don't have to be friends with everybody, but you have to be friendly. Um so it's it's very inclusive. We're always including people um in in what we do. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. That is the heart of what we do for sure. Um and I'd like to end just with um another thing we do is we do we have enrichment teachers that come. Enrichment teachers are a certified teacher that would come and teach a club. We have Andrew

022Gutierrez which does the chess club. Citrus has been doing very well this year. Uh tonight I bring up Anita Holmsley who is our um sewing teacher and this is a an example of a group uh enrichment project uh origami project that was done by students at Citrus. >> Well, he told me I only had two minutes to talk, so I'm going to have to talk really really fast. I need my helper up here. I know to keep it to two is so again Anita Holsley uh thank you Nate for the last three years he supported sewing at Citrus in the afterchool program right now this session I have 38 kids signed up from first to fifth grade um it's so exciting at recess every single day a kids going are you calling me are you

023calling me I go okay I'll try I'll try so I brought some of the projects that the kids do. We start them out with Nate found this kit. My little first graders uh take a kit like this and this is what they make. I actually bring the fourth and fifth graders in to be their mentors. And so they're the ones helping them learn to go in, out, in, out. If you go up, you go down. If you go up, you go down. So that's their very first project. From there, we go on to something a little bit higher, harder. And these are boys did these. Bryson did these. Bryson, if you know Bryson, you Oh, Bryson. Bryson is an angel in sewing. He loves sewing. So, he actually made uh this one yesterday. And then

024Gio, Gio, little second grader, you ask about special ed. I get a lot of special ed uh kids in my class and I'll either have a smaller group that day or I'll have the fourth and fifth grade uh helpers uh as they get um their projects are a little harder. They put them on their backpacks. I had a little girl just yesterday. It was a pro uh it was a project like this and she goes, "Well, I want to do that one." And I go, "That one's kind of hard." She goes, "I am up for the challenge." And it turned out beautiful. And she was so proud of it. So these are kind of the intermediate ones. And then Mr. Hec found this book and the kids, those other ones have the holes punched. Everything's

025cut out. The yarn's usually in there. But he found this book that my fifth graders are using. You can pass that around. They have to cut out their own patterns. There's no holes. And oh my gosh, they're so cute. Here's a little bat. And then a little uh penguin with a top hat. So, please pass those around. Those are my fourth and fifth graders did these projects. Um, another one that we do is called Kumiimo. It's Japanese weaving. I did this when I did a long term with the fourth graders. They're like, "Can we take them home?" I go, "No, because you'll leave them at home." But kids love this Japanese uh weaving. It's just so calming. Um a couple comments I wanted to leave you with. I had a kid the other day go,

026"I'm so glad I'm in the afternoon afterchool program so I can be in sewing." Another one said, "Now I don't have to throw that shirt away. Now I know how to sew the button back on the shirt." I've heard that many times. Um, my favorite, the other day, I think I was laughing so hard I almost fell off my rolling chair and I go, I almost died. And they went, don't die or we won't have sewing. So, I think that is my two minutes and I'll leave you with that. Thank you for supporting it. And I'd like to introduce Megan Gerty. She's our coordinator at Hooker Oak and she brought some of her students. Okay, I won't stand here too long. Hi, thanks for having me. Um, I've brought you a handful of junior leaders

027who are very excited to share about our program and I do want to say that before I let them take the stage that they've taken this opportunity very seriously. Um, they've worked as a team to prepare this presentation for you. They brainstormed, they did rough drafts, they practiced. Uh, they gave me a list of the picture of the pictures they would like printed for their poster. Um, they had to make sure all their commitments were done to participate in this. And, uh, they're very excited. So, I'll let them take it away. >> Thank you so much everybody for having us and we're so excited to tell you about Blast. So, let's get right into this. First, we're going to be talking about the benefits of Blast. Blast isn't just fun. Miss G and Mr. Ryan

028also makes it have benefits like make sure you balance your meal and at least read for 30 minutes. They also make sure you get your work completely done at blast. Also, parents don't worry while your adult is working with absolutely no distractions or interruptions. Your kid is having such a blast. Teams and team posters. At the beginning of the last year, we get assigned into groups, usually depending on our grades and ages. We get put into color groups with our friends. A little after, we get to pick the group name, usually something to do with the color. After we come up with the name, we do a skit revolving around our name and then we present the skit. All of Blast is there to watch and enjoy it. and we do team building activities throughout

029the year. Oh, yes. >> My name is Hazel and one of the I'm one of the fourth graders. >> Okay. Hi guys. I'm going to be talking about I'm Oliver and I'm going to be talking about rewards, leaders plus communities and activities. Okay. Rewards. We all love blast, right? But it's also fun to have um rewards. So when we are respectful and responsible, we get points. If we get enough points, we get rewards. Every group is currently in the 300 to 410 range. And it is really fun to have rewards like Nintendo time group party, whole blast party, forts and flashlights, reading, glow stick, dance party, popsicles, games, and more. Leaders plus communities. Leaders always help each other and the kids. They take time. They take time out of their day, even if they have

030school to go to. They are very helpful, kind, responsible, and flexible for everybody and blast. When everybody walks in, they don't just stare in space. They act like a community, have a friendly conversation, and say hello. Activities. We all like hanging out with friends, right? But it's also fun to have activities. There's crafts like waterc coloring, slime, and holiday crafts. There's also sports like soccer, dodgeball, and cup stacking. So you So you don't need to follow your friends. so you can take time for yourself. >> Hi, my name is Liam. Um, another one of the activities is homework club. Miss G and Mr. Ryan care about you and your schoolwork. So, if you need to finish your homework, then I would suggest you go to homework club. Kids clubs are all are fun, too. The

031leaders plan clubs with a theme like cooking, b building, crafts, sports, science, yoga, Bob Ross painting club, and more. >> Hi, I'm Alice and we're going to be talking about Huddle, Junior Leaders, and Kids Comments. So, Huddle is when we all gather as a group. Huddle is so fun. We get to talk about the news, ups and downs throughout the week. Not only that, we also get to talk about the fun stuff like Wacky Wednesday where where everybody laughs and make the news Monday where we get to watch the leadership video. Pedal is just fun overall and it's where we also earn team points if we're doing good. Next is junior leaders. Leaders are one thing that we could look up to, but there are also junior leaders. Junior leaders have jobs like kinder helpers,

032doctors, peacemakers, huddle leaders, and many more. We help support. We help support leaders and kids that need help. Being a junior leader helps being a more confident person later on and helps blast run more smoothly. Next is um kids comments. So, some of the other blasters told us what they like about Blast. Here are some of the reasons that they said they like free play, leaders, kids clubs, rewards, hanging out with friends, fun crafts, kudos, kind kids, and so many more. Thank you so much for having us, and we hope everyone had a blast. >> Aya, will you walk around with the poster so they can see it? I'm in fourth grade. >> That's my daughter. >> Any questions for us? Thank you so much. >> So that is our after school program ELOP in

033a nutshell. A whole lot going on, lots of fun, exceptional staff. We're really fortunate to have such great leaders, coordinators, the support from our card partnership, um our junior leaders, and exceptional students. And the best part is they're happy and they're enjoying the process and we're providing a great opportunity for our students and growing. Yeah. I'm header. Can I interrupt you real fast? Sorry. Over here. >> Where's your voice coming from? Member Robinson, I had a request if you could put your mic on so our crew that's listening out in u on the YouTube can hear you doing that. Thank you. Would you mind restating that since we we got you now? Thank you. Did did you want me to repeat the Okay, we're uh my question was regarding um I know how we got

034started because the governor said do this and here's some money but we've obviously expanded beyond that because that was our desire. I mean, I've I've been on the board long enough to remember all of the years we have talked about needing to do this for the families that don't have afterchool care for kids that need an expanded um opportunity for support both academically and socially. So, when you started um naming off the expansions and things, we talked about grants. While you talked about grants, can you explain the process for how we go about finding and then securing these grants? >> Yes. So, our funding sources right now, we have two different funding sources. The first one is expanded learning opportunities program and that's a formula based um funding source. So, we don't actually apply for

035that. Every district in California um is offered that and our um allocation is based on how many unduplicated students that we have. So, homeless, foster, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and English language learners. Uh, that is the bulk of our funding. Um, the ACES grant, which we have for 10 out of our 12 elementary sites, we apply for that funding every three years. Um, so we initially applied for those six schools in 2004. We applied for Emma and LCC most years in between then and now. Um, and then we got those four schools um, this year, but it's on a three-year cycle. So, U. Michelle Bunch and I rewrite that every three years. our grant writer. >> So, we know when it's going to expire, what the sunset period is for the three years, and so we're out

036looking for recharging that grant uh process. Um if >> can I comment on that? A lot of the renewal has to do with our attendance and if we're meeting our attendance goals. So, we've never lost that grant because we've always met our attendance goals. >> Ah, yeah. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Because, you know, as a board member, one of the things that we worry about is continuing funding for these wonderful things that our our folks develop and we can see them working and we can see the results and then we don't have any money to continue it. Um, so that's that's why my questions I'm always concerned about being able to continue the funding. Um, and as the state budget possibly shrinks because of declining enrollments and things, that's my interest is that we

037anticipate the need for continuing to grow these programs and then continuing to fund and and thank you for, you know, cards support for this for for the community, for the kids, you know, because that's what we need. Okay, I'm done. >> I have a question. Um, what is the process? Uh, uh, is this available to everyone and is there a waiting list? Is there a priority process? What does that look like? >> Yeah. So, it is available to everyone. We are currently in the lottery. So we each year we start with enrollment and so then there is a lottery period that we have to abide by per egg code in our our rules and then from there we fill the spaces but I think if you're in program you have first priority to return and

038we also prioritize our homeless and foster youth >> homeless foster. Oh, prioritize homeless foster. Is that because a lot of the funding is based on our unduplicated count? >> Uh, yes. And it's Ed code to do that. >> Also, um I guess what percentage um like how many how many students are um looking to fill these these positions or how many are not are we not able to meet their need? >> So, we kind of this year it we're we're trying out homework heroes because it gives us another avenue. So we are able to offer one challenge we had before was blast had requirements for attendance and so that didn't adhere to every family's needs. So that the addition of the homework heroes now we have a little bit more flex in the program. There's

039not a day requirement. However, it only goes to four o'clock. And so you can be on the list for blast and attending homework heroes and then waiting for a a spot. I think our our biggest challenge is a weight list and it's constantly trying to just staff and grow out evenly across the district where we see and we know right now and continually hear from our families is TK and K is is a big priority. However, they have a different ratio than our our first through fifth grade. So, we're we're accommodating that which takes a little bit more staff to get in place before we can open another section of it. I >> is staffing the greatest challenge then at this point in time. >> Yeah, >> I had a question about uh TK and

040K. So with BLAST um the program goes until six. So what does that look like for those little four and five year olds staying until six? >> So they don't have an attendance requirement. So they can be picked up any time from when school gets out until six o'clock. >> Um but they do take a rest time. A lot of times they fall asleep anywhere. Um >> I was gonna say, >> yeah, but we usually talk to the parent if we if they want us to let them sleep or not. Um but they do take a rest time. They do a lot more just recess and play every activities are not super structured. They're if they are they're no more than 10 minutes. Um they don't do like an academic time. They do site word

041practice for 10 minutes and then they do something else >> later for another 10 minutes. But it is much much more relaxed I should say than um >> I would think that that's necessary for those. >> Yes, it is. They have like a long recess, they have snack, they have rest time. Um they'll do like a craft every day and then they'll do their site word practice >> and sounds. >> Several of our students participate in the morning program as well. So it's not the school start, it's it's even earlier. So some of them have a very long day, but it's awesome that in our community we're able to offer that at no charge. Absolutely. >> But yeah, it's lengthy sometimes. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Other questions? >> Just accolades. It's just I tell

042you, it makes me uh so proud that that we're able to do this and um that this is such a service to students and our community and bravo or brava. I also love all the variety, especially all the physical movement. Um, is there a consistent policy um being followed with in regards to Chromebooks and the use of >> We we only have about 40 Chromebooks per program and some of our programs have 160 students in it. So, they don't really have a lot of access. So, they're only for homework time for the most part and sometimes a reward. And just on that note, you know, we're we're getting away from reward uh screen time of any kind. So I I I know that kids love, you know, like I I heard the reward of a

043Nintendo. Um but again, you know, with the new board policy, we're we're we know that screens are not good for developing brains and that um reward screens as a reward are considered disruptive technology. So it's it's something we're going to whittle away at. Right, Rebecca? Right, board? >> And we agree as well. And that's why we have so many offerings and continue to flex. I think the other part I just want to say on that end of enrichments, what the team does really well is that they each site is unique kind of based on what the feedback is from the students.
