Learning Recovery
As we begin the year, we know that some students are coming to us with increased social-emotional and academic needs due to the pandemic. We are dedicated to understanding each student's needs in order to give them what they need and equitable access to success. We also know that each student had a unique experience during the pandemic, and it is our job to listen to their story and design an individual learning plan for each child that needs one. At Las Lomitas and La Entrada, we have a Learning Recovery Team reviewing student assessment data, administering additional screening assessments, working with the classroom teacher, and interviewing the students and some families to design a supportive, supplemental program for each student that needs extra time to learn what they may not have last year. Our effort is to add services, provide push-in support as much as possible, and extend the day for our underserved students in various ways.
This year, in addition to Reading, Math, and Social-Emotional support, we are offering K-3rd after-school onsite English Classes, Kindergarten Learning Lab extended day, 3rd-5th extended days at the Boys and Girls Club in Ravenswood, K-6th ELA tutoring opportunities, 4th-8th before and after school Homework Center, and K-8 math tutoring. Some of the programs have already launched, such as the La Entrada Homework Center, and some are soon to be launched.
If you have concerns about your child's progress and would like to know more about any of the extended learning opportunities, please reach out to Alain Camou acamou@llesd.org or Mark Jones mjones@llesd.org. If you are interested in being a tutor in Reading, Writing, or Mathematics, please reach out to Shannon Potts spotts@llesd.org or the site administrators.
