MCSD Awarded 21st CCLC Grant
Monroe County School District is pleased to announce we have been awarded the 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) grant for Gerald Adams and Poinciana Elementary Schools. The purpose of the Keys to Success (KTS) 21st CCLC program is to provide after school and summer activities that advance student achievement in reading, math and science that complement the students’ regular school day. The program also offers students an array of enrichment activities and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children. Families must attend six parent workshops in order for their children to be served.
The goals of the program include increased: academic performance, homework completion, healthy lifestyles, skills in the arts, language acquisition, parent literacy, language and educational involvement in their children’s education. The program activities integrate academics with a broad array of project based learning, tutoring, personal and physical
enrichment, health and parent activities.
Targeted students (105 at each site) are those living in the attendance zone for the two schools. Parents of the selected students who are struggling in reading and/or math will be contacted by the school to offer them services through 21st CCLC.
