Clovis Unified School District
ACES Program
In early
2007, CUSD was awarded funding to operate after school programs at 7 of our
elementary schools. The district applied
for funding for all elementary and intermediate sites; however grants were
awarded to schools within the state based on the enrollment of students
receiving free and reduced meals. The
funding for this program comes from a state voter approved initiative Prop 49
intended to provide students in grades k through 6 with literacy, academic enrichment
and safe constructive opportunities from the time they are released from school
until 6 pm.
Clovis, Fancher
Creek, Miramonte, Nelson, Tarpey,
Temperance Kutner and Weldon Elementary Schools began
operating their ACES programs in February of 2007.
Clovis Unified School District
21st Century Program
In June of
2008, CUSD was awarded funding to operate after school programs at 3 additional
sites. Two are elementary and 1 is an
intermediate school. This funding comes
from the Federal Government and offers the same opportunities for students that
are lucky enough to participate in them.
Jefferson and Reagan Elementary Schools, and Reyburn Intermediate School began
operating their afterschool programs in August of 2008.
·
The program is administered in Clovis Unified by the Child
Development Department. Each school site
operates independently with Principals and staff determining their “target
population” or the group that they feel would most benefit from the program.
·
Participation in the program is on a scholarship basis and is
limited. It is considered to be a
privilege and attendance is mandatory.
In its first
few months of operation the programs are receiving very positives comments from
students, parents and teachers. Students
are able to complete homework. They are
also able to experience lessons in such things as karate, art, dance,
percussion, and computers. They enjoy
field trips and demonstrations.
