JSEC Afterschool Program Catolog

Juanita Sanchez After School Program Fall 2012

Hello Juanita Sanchez Students!

Welcome to the beginning of AFTERSCHOOL at JSEC for the ’12 – ’13 school year!

Instead of our usual three sessions a year we will run one continuous year of

AFTERSCHOOL offerings. Included are the first classes posted. We will begin on

Tuesday, November 13th!

Teachers and students together will determine the number of times a course meets. And teachers

are always able to create and post new classes by submitting them to me for our website.

Students need to listen to school announcements over the intercom and in your advisories, to

check out the whiteboard easel outside the Afterschool office and to frequently check the

Afterschool website…for new classes!

www.JSECafterschool.com

Carefully look at ALL programs offered. Talk to your friends about it. Show your parents and see

what they think. There’s something for everyone! And all classes are FREE!

Register online! Use the computers in the library, the computer labs, the Afterschool office, your

classrooms, or at home! Paper registration forms are available in the Afterschool office if needed.

This Afterschool program is funded by a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant and Title

1 from the Providence School Department.

FOUR of the classes offered have Community Service Hours attached to them. Every student has

community service hours as a graduation requirement. Start early accumulating them.

The Afterschool office is next to the principal’s suite in the east wing. Always feel free to drop in

to offer suggestions and ideas!

“Adolescents who participate regularly in after school programs have better academic

and social outcomes – as well as higher education and career aspirations than other teens.”
