Improving attendance

• Each day, the students have an opportunity to earn tickets for coming to our after-school program. With these tickets they can buy things in a store that we have each Friday. This also helps us motivate the kids in the area of behavior.

Improve parent/school relationship

• Once a month, we have a parent meeting at the school. During these meetings we talk about our goals for the kids, share what the kids are studying, and even have the parents study along side their children.

Improve parent/school relationship

• We make visits to the families to share about how the kids are doing and encourage them to continue supporting their kids in their studies. We also use these visits to share concerns and praises of the kids.

Teach important life-skills

• Each week we teach a different life skill on Monday. Throughout the week, we spend time talking about that skill, practicing the skill, and finding ways to have the kids participate in using those skills in the community.
