Beyond the Bell

MCOZ Fall Enrichment Book Club Family Night With Mrs. Grant 2023-2024



The Middletown Child Opportunity (MCOZ) is pleased to work in partnership with Middletown Public Schools to offer after school enrichment programs to students in Kindergarten through grade eight as part of the district Beyond the Bell initiative.  The MCOZ is managed by the Newport Family & Child Opportunity Zone (NFCOZ), a program of East Bay Community Action Program. The goal of the After School Programs is to offer fun, safe, and enriching activities to students to allow them to try new activities, meet new friends, and learn new skills to assist them to be successful in school. We expect participants to be engaged, attend regularly, behave safely, and treat all other children and adults with respect and kindness.
