    About Our Program
    The Extended Learning Program that takes place daily at Southside Elementary is operated by Best Self Behavioral Health.  The program consists of various staff from Best Self Behavioral Health including a Program Coordinator, Assistant Coordinator, and Behavior Specialist. Teachers and Assistants from our school work the program as well.   Students in grades K-8 participate in the program, where a healthy snack and drink is distributed in the cafeteria at the onset of the program each day. The program runs according to the school schedules.  Transportation is provided for all students, or parents can choose to have their children walk home each day.    
     
    The Extended Learning Time offers students in grades 5-8 academics and enrichment opportunities.  The first hour of the program is designed for additional academic supports and homework completion time.  Students should have all homework completed by the end of the program each day.  The last hour affords enrichment activities that students can choose to participate in. Such enrichment programs consist of the following:  Girls on the Run, Soccer for Success, Cosmotology, Cooking, Yoga, Zumba, Animal Adventures, Photography, and Jump Bunch to name a few.  It is with the support of our community partners that these diverse programs are made available to our students.
     
    For students in Gr.K-4, the program offers academic supports.  Of course, the healthy snack and drink are provided for each child when they arrive in the cafeteria from their homeroom.  Once they have had their snack, they are escorted to the classroom to complete any homework assignments and receive academic assistance.
     
    The program began in October and runs until the end of May.
