About
Lehigh Elementary is proud to host the 21st Century Program! 21st Century is a free after-school academic enrichment program for students in need of academic support. The 21st Century Community Learning Centers Expanded Learning Grant was awarded to the School District of Lee County in 2020 by the Florida Department of Education. The program is held during school hours and after school in order to help improve students’ achievement in English Language Arts, STEM, and Physical Education (SPARK). Additionally, all students attend weekly social-emotional learning lessons in small groups. 21st Century is not a tutoring program. Lessons are prepared by certified teachers according to the program curriculum. The 21st Century Program at Lehigh Elementary also organizes family engagement events for 21st Century students’ families.
Students who are eligible for the program are sent home permission slips at the beginning of the year. The program runs from Monday-Thursday every week. Dinner, snacks, and bus transportation are provided. Student attendance is crucial due to the monitoring of student achievement through the collection of academic data (pre- and post- testing and quarterly grades).
Site safety is facilitated by administrative designated staff who remain on site after school to handle student issues, facility management and bus transportation. The program adheres to the same student code of conduct and parent guidelines that are used during the school day at each site. The program is supported by the school district through a program administrator at the district office who provides technical and programmatic assistance during the school year and site-based administrators and coordinators. The Florida Department of Education monitors the program yearly to ensure compliance with grant guidelines and use of funding.
