This spring semester, ACE Tigers teachers have already started teaching tutorial classes for students during our afterschool program. Not only do our classroom teachers tutor at least one after school tutorial class per week, but a number of the teachers, along with some of our paraprofessionals, facilitate fun and engaging enrichment classes for our students. A nutritious supper meal is served to each ACE student between the tutorial and enrichment classes. At the end of the ACE Tigers program, buses are available to take students home.

Over a hundred and thirty students attend the Reading and/or Math tutorials classes that are held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday from 3:50 to 4:35 p.m. Tutorials classes not only reinforce the content that is taught in class, or strengthen strategies and skills, but they also help prepare the students for the upcoming STAAR tests.

Enrichment classes are offered after the tutorial classes from 5 to 5:45 p.m., Friday is only until 5 p.m. Enrichment classes are not only a little more fun, but the classes also have a learning component. Some of the classes we offer on particular days are: Math Board Games, Lego Challenge, Baking, Arts and Crafts, Computer Class, Sports, Science, Build It and a Gardening class is currently being designed.

Upcoming: Parent/Family Engagement activities are being developed and information will be sent out very soon, so please watch for those announcements. Planning for summer school is already underway, June is coming fast!
