Dear Reiche Families:
We are pleased to invite your child to attend Reiche LearningWorks Afterschool!
Reiche school staff and your child’s classroom teacher believe your child will benefit from the additional academic learning experience in LearningWorks Afterschool. The program is designed to engage students in hands-on math, science, and literacy and expand their background knowledge, vocabulary, teamwork, communication, and analytical thinking skills.
Our program integrates daily physical fitness, health, and arts/cultural activities. We offer field trips and invite guest presenters periodically, to reinforce learning and build community connections. This afterschool program is provided by LearningWorks, in partnership with Portland Schools, and is funded by 21st Century Community Learning Center grants.
This program does not offer individualized homework help or tutoring, however, staff may provide opportunities for students to get started, offering guidance, during student choice time.
