After-School Programs

Students in all three schools (Elementary, Middle, and High) will have the opportunity to participate in free after-school programs in SY 22-23, starting (tentatively) Tuesday, August 23. The focus will be on academic supports (tutoring, homework help), STEAM activities, and cultural activities. A snack and supper will be served to all participating students. Bussing home will be provided, pending driver and bus availability. Student pick-up will be at the usual spots at each building.

Peñasco ISD data shows that students who participate in after-school programs have better attendance at school and show more rapid improvement on academic tests.
