Students were busy exploring The Shop at Reese Center’s automotive Enterprise Learning Lab — known as The Shop — peering under multiple vehicles’ hoods to inspect them for oil changes, state inspections and alignments that they could perform for the community.

Extended Day
In 1987-88 and 1990-91, public and private schools with higher minority student populations offering extended day programs were significantly higher than low minority ones (table 1).
Children participating in Extended Day are provided a safe and structured environment on school campuses, where they receive daily academic assistance as well as engaging in enriching activities that further their education.
This program operates only during school days and closes at 7:00 PM. Students in Pre-K4 to Grade 8 report directly to their classrooms when arriving on campus for each new school day, being led into their rooms escorted by staff members.
Parents must sign their child out and present a picture ID to Extended Day staff prior to leaving campus. Any changes made in an Extended Day schedule incurs a $25 charge per request.
