Welcome to Springboard’s nationally recognized Extended Day programs! We’re excited to become an educational partner with the elementary and middle schools in Randolph. We are based right here in Massachusetts. Please take a minute to learn about us as we provide you with some background about Springboard After School and the Springboard Foundation. We are a revolutionary after school program that provides children with academic, enrichment, and fun recreational opportunities. We pride ourselves as the first after school program in the nation to recognize the crucial importance of a schools extended day by providing vital after school academic help with professional school teachers.

Over the next several weeks you’ll be receiving more information about our programs. This summer our team will meet with each school’s principal to ensure a sound partnership and transition. This letter will begin to provide you with a sense of our program. We’ll be open on the first day of school. Springboard’s programs will cost less than you currently pay. You will be able to enroll your child beginning August 1, 2011 using our on-line ‘PARENT CONNECT” enrollment program at www.springboardafterschool.com. Just click “Enroll” to begin. If you have any trouble at all or don’t use computers, please call us at 800-341-3177.

Springboard is proficient in the Core Knowledge Curriculum and has shown its support of partner schools that use this curriculum by becoming a Friend of Core Knowledge as defined by the Core Knowledge Foundation.

Springboard teachers who work in Core Knowledge Partner Schools use the Core Knowledge Sequence to facilitate Guided Homework and Study Instruction and to communicate the needs of their students with the every day teachers who teach them. In both our Core Knowledge School partnerships and our non-Core Knowledge partnerships we agree with the Core Knowledge Foundation that “for the sake of academic excellence, greater fairness, and higher literacy, elementary and middle schools need a solid, specific, shared core curriculum in order to help children establish strong foundations of knowledge, grade by grade.”

With this in mind, Springboard firmly supports the efforts of all of our schools to establish a foundation that promotes the use of content and is grounded in a core curriculum of knowledge at each school. It is our sincerest belief that this framework ensures that our students will succeed and that they will be prepared to be active participants in an increasingly global economy.
