Important Program Information for 21st Century Families

The 桃花社区视频 桃花社区视频 District’s 21^st Century Extended Day Program is an out-of-school time program offered through a federal grant administered by the New Hampshire Department of Education. The program offers academic support, academic enrichment, extracurricular enrichment activities, college and career readiness, and recreational opportunities for students who are registered for the program.

Beginning the 2024-2025 school year, we have made some important updates to our registration process to better serve our community and meet our federal funding requirements. Here are the key changes:

• Program Enrollment: Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis, while also reserving space for students who are identified by school leadership, teachers and student support teams as most in need of support.
  • Returning Students: We have allocated spots specifically for returning students to ensure they have the opportunity to continue their education with us.
  • Referred Students: In accordance with our federal grant requirements, we will also be allocating registration spots for students who are referred to our program, similar to our practices for our extended summer learning program.
    

• Non-program Days: The 21st Century program will no longer offer complimentary memberships for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater 桃花社区视频 as an alternative after-school option. While 21st Century will remain closed on non-school days such as Early Release, holidays, and school vacation days, we encourage you to reach out to youth-serving organizations like the , , , or  to inquire about your child’s ability to attend their programs on days that 21st Century is not available. Please note that these organizations may have separate costs for membership to their programs. Please be sure to familiarize yourselves with our program calendar so that you are aware of days that the 21st Century program will not be offered.

These changes are necessary to maintain the federal funding that supports our 21st Century program from the New Hampshire Department of Education. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement these new registration practices.
