Extended Day Academic Program (EDAP)

Title I schools that are identified at 75% or higher economically disadvantage are able to apply for EDAP programs each Spring.  All students in schools with an EDAP program can participate; however the program prioritizes supporting students with the greatest academic need, based on math and reading data.

Students in EDAP are engaged in activities that focus on math, reading, writing, science/STEM, media, and games with Common Core State Standards that are aligned to the schools' 90-Day Plan.

At the beginning of each semester, students are able to register for the EDAP program. Posters, fliers, announcements, and information on school websites inform students and parents of the clubs and tutoring sessions that will be offered, when they will meet, and have sign-up procedures.  Site administrators, teachers, students, and parents work together to find programs that suit the individual needs of the students and enhance learning at the school site.

EDAP Improves Academics

When students attend a before or after school club they feel a part of the community, the student's social emotional needs are met, it boosts their academic skills, and they get more one-on-one attention in the small group tutoring sessions and clubs.  Monitoring of student engagement and programs will be observed in the Spring and Fall.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are the Extended Day Academic Program clubs taught by certified teachers?

Yes. Highly qualified teachers conduct the clubs. Some teachers have educational assistants working with them as well.

My child is tired of doing the same thing all day. Are the EDAP clubs different?

The clubs often provide hands-on, interactive activities that combine math, reading, and science.

Is attendance required?

The EDAP activities are voluntary, but most students find themselves happily involved in learning, and enjoy the extra time after school, so they attend regularly.

Will the activity leaders help my child with homework?

The EDAP clubs are intended to provide extended learning activities, but not to help with homework. Many of the activities address the same skills, but homework is done at home or with assistance from other sources.

When do EDAP programs meet?

Programs can meet before or after school.
