Topeka Public Schools will screen students in the fall, winter, and spring to assess any learning loss from the COVID19 closing of schools and subsequent remote and virtual learning.  The data from the screeners will provide information for the school to support student academic and social emotional needs through multiple opportunities that include tiered instructional support during the school day, after-school programs, and summer learning camps.

Extended School Year Opportunities

Through federal ESSER funds and the U.S. Department of Child Nutritional Services, we can Include in many of the programs transportation, daily breakfast and lunch, counseling for social emotional needs, and field trips.

Before & After-School Programs

Each of the 30 schools in Topeka Public Schools will offer a before and/or after-school program that will focus on Learning Loss.  Learning Loss instruction will focus on math, reading, science, and other areas of lost school-based opportunities throughout the pandemic (e.g., music, physical education, art, field-trips).  While the before and/or after-school programs will be open to all students, based on screening data, students will also be invited to participate.
