Major Responsibilities of Department: Our main goal is to provide extended learning opportunities to students to support and meet the unique needs of ALL students. I focus on two major areas which are: 1) increase academic achievement; 2) decrease at-risk students by offering extended-day learning at school, and 3) increase parents' knowledge of before/after school program safe and learning-filled environment (raising awareness).
