Two Rivers Public Charter School

& Springboard Education in America

Partnership Program

What Is Springboard?

Springboard is a crucial new after school program designed by Springboard’s visionary doctoral level educators. Springboard has been designed to take advantage of after school time so that our children can receive the help that they need and deserve. Springboard’s certified teachers insure that children learn and that they are having fun in Springboard’s balanced and safe extended day program.

What is the system to insure kids understand what they are taught in class each day? Schools and the State test them.

This just confirms what they do not knowParents say “ Go do your homework”

If they do not understand the class work, how can they do homework?

Home SupportDo both parents have the time and energy to assist?

Do both parents work? Single parents? Language issues?

Do parents understand the work and/or can they teach it the same way that it is being taught in class?
