Subject: Extended Care Program
We know how difficult the last few months have been for parents as they navigate the rocky waters of working, teaching their children from home, and maintaining their sanity while the world faced a pandemic that changed so many lives. As school comes back into session for the 2020-2021 school year, the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History would like to offer parents and guardians of children in Kindergarten through 7th grade an opportunity to obtain childcare in our new in-person Extended Care Program.
Starting on Tuesday, September 8, and likely to run through the school year, the museum will accept a limited number of K-7th grade students each day for full-day extended learning programs. These programs will run daily, Monday through Friday, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm each day. Students can be registered for one or multiple days, and each day is a fee of $50. Museum members receive a 10% discount. Advance online registration is required to obtain a spot.
This in-person Extended Care Program at the Smithsonian Affiliated National Museum of Nuclear Science & History will offer a balance between online distance learning with the child's school, STEM specific curriculum and activities provided by the museum, and fun physical activities each day. With access to the nine-acre outdoor exhibit area filled with airplanes and a shaded picnic area, students are sure to have a blast!
Students will be asked to bring their Google Access login information for their school assignments (or other login information if a different platform is used), lunch, snacks, a face mask to be worn at all times, and a refillable water bottle. Students are welcome to bring their own electronic device to do school work, but the museum is also able to provide an electronic device if necessary.
Each program will have a ratio of 1/5. Safety of the students and museum educators is of utmost importance. Safety protocols, including cleaning procedures, will be strictly enforced during all programs. All students will have their temperature taken upon arrival to the museum, and a curb-side drop-off and pick-up will be implemented for safety. More information on procedures and policies will be shared with each family before the registration date.

Good Afternoon Amazing Dragon Families!
We wanted to reach out separately to let you know about food distribution.
We receive 5 days of lunches for our students that qualify once a week. On Monday, August 31st we will have 6 days due to Labor Day. Distribution will begin at 7:00 am and we will be in a separate area in the bus turnaround infront of the gym. There will be 5 days for each student that attends 21st Century.
Ms. Amanda Hebert is now our Food Services Manager and you can reach her at 21st Century at 505-254-0280 or ahebert@21stcenturypa.com if you have questions or are not able to pick up on Monday.
We have also attached another Free and Reduced Lunch Application and are asking that every family return a form either as you go through the chromebook pick up on Monday, August 31 or return with your homeroom forms. This is critical for additional funding opportunities outside of the Lunch Program.
Thank you all very much! We hope you are safe and healthy!

Thank you all for participating in the Zoom meetings today! Your input was extremely helpful in guiding the Governance Council to their decision.
The plan is to remain in a remote learning environment for the first Quarter which ends in October and pursue avenues to provide extended times for small groups, outdoor activities, before and/or afterschool activities and social interaction opportunities. Outdoor sports will be provided i.e. golf, cross country and tennis if we can find a coach.
More information to follow next week!
Thanks again, have a Great Weekend and be safe and healthy!
