Beyond the Bell

Beyond the Bell provides expanded learning programs to students in grades UTK-12. These programs focus on developing students’ academic, social-emotional, and physical needs and interests through meaningful learning experiences. Expanded learning programs are an essential part of a student’s education, engaging them in activities that spark their curiosity and creativity. The programs offer hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for college, career, and life.

 

Expanded learning programs may include a before school, after school, summer, or intersession program. Specific expanded learning program offerings may vary from site to site. All expanded learning programs offered through Beyond the Bell are free of charge.

The Beyond the Bell staff or a Community-Based Organization (CBO)/agency partner delivers the comprehensive after-school program. The comprehensive after-school program is offered from dismissal until 6:00 p.m. for elementary schools.

 

The comprehensive after-school program offers various services and opportunities designed to support academic achievement and enrichment, promote social-emotional wellness, and foster positive youth development. Students in grades UTK–12 receive homework support, engage in reading, science, technology, engineering, and math activities, and participate in various sports, physical fitness, and visual and performing arts.

 

To enroll a student in these programs, the parent(s)/guardian(s) must complete and submit a program application. Elementary parent(s)/guardian(s) must sign their child out daily at the end of the program.
