Overview

Mission

Family connection is a catalyst for change within families, schools, and the community. Through a team approach that includes families, the easton area school district, and community organizations, family connection improves academic performance, the quality of life, and strength of our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The after school learning clubs (aslc) is an afterschool academic enrichment program that helps students improve their academic performance. The program includes a daily healthy snack, classroom instruction, homework assistance, recreation time, and family nights. High school students interested in teaching careers serve as mentors in addition to students from lafayette college and northampton community college. Aslc provides a safe, nurturing environment for children during the after school hours, improves academic performance and social-emotional skills, increases family involvement, exposes students to the arts, science, and technology, and provides students with opportunities to build self-confidence and explore their local community. Over 130 children participated in the program this year.
