Statistics About After School
More than 28 million school age children have parents who work outside the home.
The hours between 3:00pm and 6:00pm are the prime hours for experimentation with sex, alcohol, drugs, and criminal activity.
Only 8.4 million Kindergarten through 12th grade children participate in after school programs.
An additional 18.5 million would participate if there was a quality program available to them.
Over 1 million of the 15 million students who are left alone after school are between the kindergarten and fifth grade levels
(AfterschoolAlliance, 2009).
Collaboration Time!!Scenario: You are a school board for a local school
and you need to decide what after school activities you would like offer your students
We will now separate you into to groups to work in

Re-Collaborate & AnalyzeTeams go back together to analyze from
comparison of our schools to your ideas and see:What works?What doesn’t work?What you think would work?Make your own needs assessment for your schools
keeping these factors in mind Groups will be given a student with special needs and an area to
keep in mind and to help in reassessing their offered after-school activities with this student’s and the school’s needs in mind (this is where you record your own needs’ assessments)

afterschool programs are great for students who have no place to go after school great opportunity to provide extra academic help to students who are in need great way for younger students, who are not old enough to be involved with school sports teams,
to take part in physical activity or other activities that interest them Lesley Patrone: Coordinator for the Olean Community Schools programs
&Olean Community Theater Workshop afterschool programs can be beneficial for students whose parents work late and would be home
alone, or those who are too old for a babysitter would prefer if families spent more time together and the children could play with their siblings,
but understands how times are changing After school activities offer a safe place for students to socialize in a more relaxed atmosphere
than school can offer Arden Avery: AmeriCorps member working in the Olean High School
after school programs keep students out of trouble and can expand the knowledge base of students
remembers actively creating robots in after school programs and being able to build closer relationships with teachers at the same time
Christine Connor: Guidance Counselor at Allegany Elementary beneficial, especially to kids who don’t have anything concrete to do at home create the home and school connection She is the person who created Banana Splits years ago and has developed it into a full year
program. She does two grade levels at a time, for six week intervals throughout the year. She also takes part in the ALPS (Alternate Learning Paths) by working with the 4th & 5th grade as another teacher does the 3rd & 4th. (The fourth grade is split between them. They work on enrichment projects that the students are interested in and wouldn’t be able to do during school. (ex-working on debate history and mock one later)
