REC After School Program at Chipeta

What is REC?

*REC is a FREE after school tutoring and enrichment program for 1st-12th grade students. *Our mission is to improve academic achievement and social and emotional development in a safe and supportive environment.

When and Where?

*REC meets at Chipeta, after the school dismissal bell. We meet Tuesday through Friday until 6:15, 6:00 pm on Fridays. All-day field trips are often scheduled on days students have no school. We ask that students attend everyday in order to gain the most improvement in their academic achievement.

How Do We Spend Our Time?

*Students eat a nutritious snack we provide when they first arrive. We have a 15 minute recess before we begin our tutoring and homework. We spend 45-60 minutes doing homework or practicing basic skills in small groups. The last 45 minutes is enrichment time. Where we do activities like art, music, yoga, STEAM challenges or SEL.
