   REC After School Program at Chipeta

 

What is REC?

REC is a FREE after school tutoring and enrichment program for 1st-12th grade students. REC's 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. They meet Tuesday through Friday until 6:30. We ask that students attend everyday in order to gain the most improvement in their academic achievement. Upon approval to attend REC, please remember there is no REC on Mondays. 

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.

Contact Information and to Register: Visit the website rec4kids.com for more information.  All registration is done online. Please do not have your child attend REC until your application is turned in and you have received confirmation from REC staff that your child is approved.
