Before and Afterschool Programs
STARS
STARS is a before and after-school program that provides quality enrichment and extended learning activities to elementary students. Students receive assistance to promote homework completion, participate in enrichment activities called Discovery Zones, and practice and improve their reading and math skills using an online tool called SuccessMaker. Students are also provided a healthy breakfast, snack, and/or dinner, plus time for physical activity.
Homework Club
Homework Club is a before and after-school program that provides students the opportunity to focus on homework completion in a safe, nurturing environment. Students will receive academic support and other enrichment opportunities, such as quiet reading time, fun math games, and assistive technology. Students will also be provided a healthy breakfast, snack, and/or dinner, plus time for physical activity.
Summer STARS
Summer STARS is a themed summer program for elementary students that is similar to the before and after school program. Students will engage in Discovery Zones, complete SuccessMaker twice a day, and participate in outdoor physical activity. Summers also include travel days; going on educational and fun field trips and heading to the local pool for swimming. Again, a healthy breakfast, snack, and/or dinner is provided.
Canine Crew
In collaboration with Rossford Schools, the Canine Crew is a targeted intervention program offering homework assistance, tutoring, and interactive computer programming to support your child’s learning. It is an expanded learning program different than the regular daily STARS program offered through our Community Learning Center at Rossford Elementary. If selected through the school, Canine Crew provides students with reading intervention under the direction of certified Rossford teachers at no fee to your family!
Summer Academy
In collaboration with Rossford Schools, the Community Learning Centers hosts a FREE Summer Academy for select students entering grades K-5. This program is offered to students who would benefit from continued practice of reading and math skills. Intervention is targeted for students to maintain present levels of achievement and prevent further loss, to teach new skills, and to intervene in specific areas of need.
Foundations
We are thrilled to offer access to a FREE distance learning, SEL program for students, called Foundations!
This program is based on a 40-day topical schedule, and is centered around giving students the social emotional building blocks they need to head back into the school year on a strong and positive note. We believe that during these trying times SEL is an important and supportive component to student daily schedules.
The Foundation skills were created with both 21st CCLC program objectives and the 5 SEL categories in mind, with a team that includes both certified teachers and counselors. Daily topics include Courage, Confidence, Pride, Leadership, Resilience, Integrity, and each day is a special blend of fun and learning and hosted by our special friend, Miss Susan.

Discovery Zones
Discover Zones are a new digital curriculum package created to consolidate afterschool programmatic needs. DZs are an all-inclusive, systematic way to coordinate afterschool program curriculum and provide a fun and educational learning environment for students!
Why Discovery Zones?
· Afterschool programs are jammed full of many components, all of equal importance. In order to ensure every program element is proctored and continuous improvement is achieved, we developed a system that incorporates daily requirements into one total digitally distributed package that the staff and kids love.
What is a Discovery Zones?
· A Discovery Zone is a fun, animated, and graphic filled slideshow package used to structure and facilitate afterschool academics, social emotional learning through our very own 'Family Focus based activities, physical activity, mindfulness, new technology, engage parents, and more. These Discovery Zones are themed weekly, include differentiation, and are written to State standards.
How can I use Discovery Zones?
· Simply utilize the planning materials, begin the presentation, and let it guide you through hours of activities and topics designed to provide a new way of student learning afterschool. Beyond the slideshow, we also provide templates for table tents, job lanyards, teacher guide, supply list, guided discussion topics, and supplemental materials all based on a weekly theme.
This new curriculum has been tested and enjoyed by thousands of kids and, as seen above, even has a fun mascot, Dee-Zee! To learn more about Discovery Zones, contact us at clcstars@wcesc.org.

Literacy (RIMP) Scholarships
In collaboration with local districts, qualifying students on RIMP (Reading Improvement Monitoring Plans) will be awarded literacy scholarships covering 100% of tuition fees! If your child is eligible, contact your school's CLC Site Supervisor for more information.
SuccessMaker
SuccessMaker is a computer assisted academic instructional and assessment software program for all elementary grade levels. This software automatically adjusts in response to individual student performance, tracking initial reading performance and progress over time. It is an optimal tool to use with students with disabilities or learning delays as it initiates at the students current performance level, presents concepts and strategies, and progresses only as the student succeeds with the material presented. This avoids acceleration at a pace for which the student is not prepared. With over 30 years of research, SuccessMaker content has been aligned with both national and Ohio Academic Curriculum Standards. This program is both an instructional tool and a means to gather performance data for evaluation of academically supportive components of reading. SuccessMaker activity is implemented by Center staff at select locations as a daily component for student participants of the Before/Afterschool and Summer STARS/intervention programs.
