AFTERCARE PROGRAM
Link has partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Newark to provide a quality after school care program for the upcoming year. The program will pick up students daily from both Link locations (23 Pennsylvania Avenue and Halsey Street) at dismissal and transport them by bus to the Club on Avon Avenue. It includes Wednesday early dismissal days which are approximately every other Wednesday. (See calendar for specific dates.)
Families must enroll and pay for the full program to participate in the early Wednesday sessions; unfortunately, they will not offer just Wednesday pricing.

Registration Fee: $80 per student (Includes a Registration and an annual Membership fees)

The Helping Your Child publication series from the U.S. Department of Education “aims to provide parents with the tools and information necessary to help their children succeed in school and life. These booklets feature practical lessons and activities to help their school aged and preschool children master reading, understand the value of homework and develop the skills and values necessary to achieve and grow.” Click here for the publication.
The NJDOE Families Portal is “intended to be a central location to provide support and information related to parent and family engagement in student learning and development. It is also a navigation system designed to help parents and families understand how the education system works at the state and local levels. In addition, the portal is a dynamic source of ideas for educators and families who are seeking ways to strengthen their partnership programs.” Click here for the portal.
