LATCHKEY: Linking to the Classroom
It?s a tough job, but someone?s got to
do it. Whether you are headed to work
at the wee hours of the morning or
working late, the Latchkey program in
the Lincoln County R-III School District
is more than before and after school
care for students. Latchkey isn?t just
an extension of the school day, but
rather an extension of the classroom.
The program stresses character
education and community service
while serving up monthly themes that
coincide with crafts and activities for
the students. During the spring of
2013, the Lincoln County R-III Latchkey
program was awarded the 2013 Top
Notch Tab Top Pandemonium Collector
from the Ronald McDonald House.
Students enrolled in Latchkey last
year also donated more than 720,000
grains of rice through www.Freerice.
com, which helps feed children around
the world.
In addition to the lessons in
character education, students enrolled
in Latchkey also have access to extra
school support. A+ Tutors visit the
Latchkey sites after school to give
students one-on-one tutoring, assist
homework and help students study.
The Latchkey program began in
2009-10 school year with sites at all
of the elementary schools. Now, the
program has expanded to not only
include additional elementary schools,
but also early childhood and middle
school. Approximately 500 students
enjoy the Latchkey program.
