Zephyr Elementary School’s after-school program, which runs 4-5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from Jan. 25 to April 15, will occur on Zoom this year.

The instruction of one-hour sessions provided will be determined by that day’s assigned homework and the students’ understanding of the given assignment.

The end of the second marking period for Gockley, Steckel and Zephyr elementary schools and Whitehall-Coplay Middle School will be Jan. 26. The end of the first semester for Whitehall High School students is Jan. 26.

Steckel Elementary School’s after-school program for third grade will start next month and run for 19 sessions 3:35-4:35 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. It will focus on basic skills needed for a proficient level of performance in reading and math and organizational skills as time allows.

The ratio of student to teacher is kept at a minimum; therefore, the number of students participating in this program is limited. Placement in the program is based upon teacher recommendation and assessment data.

Stayed tuned for more information on WCMS’ Strengthening Families program, in partnership with Valley Youth House.
