Why Oregon City School District is Moving Forward Without the Federal Teacher Incentive Fund Grant
The Oregon City School Board supports the efforts of the CLASS Project Design Team, but regrets that it was unable to reach agreement with the federal government on a way to utilize grant funds. Leaving a five-year 2.54 million dollar grant was a difficult decision. Not all stakeholders will agree with it. However, supporting proven strategies to increase student achievement will continue to be the focus in Oregon City. A new evaluation system for teachers and administrators is only one example of the strong work generated by this grant that will carry on.
Extended Day After School Program
Extended Day is an after school program that is a great option for working families that would otherwise need a daycare service. Extended Day offers students field trips, arts and crafts, enrichment classes, homework club and sport and games and serves students from the time school is out until 6pm.
All elementary schools have an extended day program. Please note Jennings Lodge and Candy Lane students are transported to Holcomb and Mt. Pleasant students to King.
For more information on this popular program visit the Extended Day Page or contact Gail Hoskins at gail.hoskins@orecity.k12.or.us or call 503-785-8514.
