Families must commit to the ENTIRE six weeks of SOAR to be considered for enrollment.
Our Summer SOAR Program will run from Monday, June 24th - Thursday, August 1st. There will be 6 weeks, June 24th - August 1st, of full day programming (9am-4:30pm) at TLC.
Due to the increasing waitlist numbers for SOAR, we will be asking families to sign a contract of commitment to all six weeks of programming. Failure to attend 87% or more days of SOAR programming will result in the reduction of points in future TLC program lotteries. Families will be notified on March 20th if their student has been placed in the program.
Las familias deben comprometerse con las seis semanas COMPLETAS de SOAR para ser consideradas para la inscripción.
Nuestro programa SOAR de verano se llevará a cabo del lunes 24 de junio al jueves 1 de agosto. Habrá 6 semanas, del 24 de junio al 1 de agosto, de programación de día completo (9 am a 4:30 pm) en TLC.
Debido al creciente número de listas de espera para SOAR, pediremos a las familias que firmen un contrato de compromiso para las seis semanas de programación. No asiste al 87% o más días de la programación SOAR resultará en la reducción de puntos en futuras loterías del programa TLC. Las familias serán notificadas el 20 de marzo si su estudiante ha sido colocado en el programa.

WHY ARE SUMMER PROGRAMS IMPORTANT?
The National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) says “when the school year ends, children in high-poverty environments struggle not only with basic needs like healthy food and safe places to spend their days, but with losing precious time during the summer months to continue their learning. The cumulative effect is a crisis in the making: by the fifth grade, summer learning loss can leave low-income students two-and-a-half to three years behind their peers.
Students who fall behind over the summer are less likely to graduate from high school or go on to college. NSLA believes that diversity of every kind is critical to our nation’s success. Creating opportunities for summer learning sets the stage for innovation, creativity, and leadership in every community: the young people we nurture today are the foundation of our society tomorrow.”
