After School Programs
Project Kidz Connect
Project Kidz Connect is a free, grant-funded district program dedicated to providing students with a safe place to learn, play, and grow after school. We partner with principals, teachers, and the community to provide ways for students to improve their academic performance, learn healthy habits, and contribute positively to the world around them.
Project Kidz Connect includes academics, arts, nutrition, recreation, computers, character education, and enrichment. We support the district curricular math, reading, and technology initiatives and provide opportunity for students to extend their learning.
Project Kidz Connect is a Monday-Friday program for TK-6th grade students and it starts as soon as the bell rings until 6pm. We are closed on holidays and non-school days.
