  3. Mission: To offer a free, safe, enriching and supervised environment for Lewisville ISD students in grades 3-5, in which students develop academic competency and confidence, higher-level thinking skills and problem-solving, creativity, individual growth through hands-on experiences, peer interaction and positive adult relationships. • Purpose: To provide after-school learning opportunities beyond the regular school day. The program focuses on helping children in high-need schools succeed academically through the use of scientifically-based extended learning time. LBB is a powerful program that enhances and complements the regular school day, rather than duplicating or imitating classroom instruction.

  4. LBB Facts • Free to Students • Students begin September 27, 2010 • LBB runs from 2:50pm-5:20pm • Monday-Thursdays only; no Fridays • We enroll 60 students who meet criteria. • 20 students per grade level (grades 3-5 only) • 10 boys; 10 girls per grade level

  9. What we need from teachers • A list of 30 boys and 30 girls per grade level (so we have extra to choose from) who you want us to recruit to order of importance. • We need the list by Sept. 7th at 9am. • Site Coordinators will then distribute enrollment packets to your students • Collect student applications and return to site coordinators

  10. What we offer teachers • Fewer students to tutor • Spreadsheets of student progress on Kid’s College (and their user code and password) • Progress on CenterStage w/ journal entries • Increased student success in the classroom

  11. Keys points • If a student goes to a teacher tutoring session after school versus coming to our LBB academic session, we must have them back to us by 3:50pm. • LBB students may be in UIL, Choir, and tutoring, but will not be able to participate in other school clubs. • Academics will be in the beginning of the program this year. We will not be usingcampus staff. LBB staff includes UNT interns with content majors who are pursuing education minors.
