This program supports freshmen who did not pass Algebra 1A in the fall semester. Students complete coursework and assessments through the Edgenuity online program and receive twice-weekly in-person support from a CCUSD certified math teacher focused on reinforcing Algebra 1A skills and closing learning gaps as they progress through Algebra 1B. The program’s goal is to recover Algebra 1A credit and strengthen foundational math skills essential for success in Algebra 1B and beyond. Regular attendance is encouraged. However, in-person unit and final exam testing during the program’s scheduled dates and times is mandatory. There is minimum enrollment required for this class to run, so please register your child soon so we have an accurate student count. Disclaimer: The CCUSD-certified teacher may teach students during the regular school day who choose to enroll in this course. For those students, any credit-recovery grades will be reviewed and verified by a second certified teacher or an administrator.

Let your creativity spill onto the page! In this fun and imaginative art club, students in 4th and 5th grade will create their very own art journals filled with drawings, colors, words, and ideas. We’ll explore different art journaling techniques like doodling, collage, and mixed media. There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to art journal—it’s all about self-expression and having fun! Students will experiment with materials, try new ideas, and play with composition. Each student will receive an art journaling kit to use during the club and take home at the end so they can keep creating long after the club is over. The deadline to enroll is February 4th so materials can be ordered. Instructor: Stefanie Brick

Homework Club is a dedicated space for your child to receive help with homework, missing or makeup assignments, test corrections, or anything other work they need support for their classes. I am able to work with your child's teacher, if needed, to see where they are needing help.

Our Homework Hub program provides personalized academic support for students in grades 3–6. Whether your child needs guidance on specific homework assignments or help mastering foundational skills like reading, phonics, math, writing, or penmanship, we are here to help. Students work one-on-one with a tutor or in small groups, ensuring focused attention and targeted instruction. We tailor our support to your child’s unique learning style and needs - whether it’s understanding long division, improving handwriting, or building reading fluency. Perfect for busy families, we provide the homework assistance parents may not have the time or capacity to give, without the expense of a full-time tutor. Let us partner with you to help your child succeed academically and build confidence in their learning!

Youth Track and Field. Young athletes are introduced to and participate in track and field events. Classes consist of weekly drills to improve running form, speed, coordination, agility, strength and endurance. Additionally, each week participants will experience a new track or field event. The course is not solely running-focused. Events include sprints, hurdles, long jump, discus and shot put. When necessary, events are modified to be age appropriate. The focus is to provide an encouraging environment with an emphasis on enjoying the physical challenge, and experiencing positive results.
