LEAD Hub Program Information

CVESD’s LEAD Hub program provides before and after school programs at all district schools. LEAD Hub aims to create a safe, supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. The program combines recreation, homework assistance, and enrichment activities. LEAD Hub is available at no cost for CVESD students in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade and is aligned with the school calendar. LEAD Hub hours will vary by school site and depend on the school’s start and end times. Please note that not all locations have a before school program. 

Spaces are limited. The highest priority is given to students identified as “unduplicated” (foster youth, unsheltered, students living in motels/hotels, temporarily doubled up, students in temporary shelters, English language learners, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students). At the time of registration, students must be identified in the district database as belonging to one of these categories. After the highest priority students are registered, additional students will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Información del programa LEAD Hub

 

El programa LEAD Hub del CVESD ofrece programas antes y después del horario escolar en todas las escuelas del distrito. El objetivo de LEAD Hub es crear un ambiente seguro y de apoyo donde los niños puedan aprender, crecer y prosperar. El programa combina actividades recreativas, ayuda con las tareas escolares y actividades de enriquecimiento. LEAD Hub está disponible sin costo para los estudiantes de Kínder de transición hasta sexto grado del CVESD, y está alineado con el calendario escolar. Los horarios del programa LEAD Hub varían según la escuela y dependen de la hora de entrada y salida de cada plantel. Tenga en cuenta que no todas las ubicaciones ofrecen un programa antes del horario escolar. 

Los espacios son limitados. Se da la máxima prioridad a los estudiantes identificados como contados una sola vez en su categoría, (niños en hogares de crianza, sin hogar, que viven en moteles/hoteles, alojados temporalmente con otras familias, en refugios temporales, estudiantes de inglés y estudiantes con desventajas socioeconómicas). En el momento de la inscripción, la base de datos del distrito debe indicar si el estudiante pertenece a una de estas categorías. Después de inscribir a los estudiantes de prioridad más alta, los demás serán inscritos por orden de llegada.
