Non-academic outcomes have very profound implications on traditional academic metrics, both short term, and over the long haul.  In order for our afterschool programs to affect positive change on academic assessments, grades, test scores, graduation rates, and post secondary degree or certification acquisition, we must support the whole child as a community.  With this in mind, we provide support around student:

  • Attitudes and Beliefs

  • Behaviors - Attendance and Discipline Rates

  • Incarcerated Youth Mentorships

  • Resilience factors (buffers against negative effects of ACEs - Trauma)

  • Family Engagement & Well-Being

The most consistent behavioral benchmark this past year was the participation of our students both in school and in our afterschool programs. Consequently, we measured:

  1. Absenteeism - The percent of Regular Attendees in our afterschool program who also regularly attended school, as determined by 5 or fewer school-day absences for the whole year.

  2. Discipline- The percent of Regular Attendees that had 1 or more discipline records throughout the school year.

An annual programmatic survey conducted in Spring by OSPI to gauge afterschool attendees’ attitudes and beliefs about school and learning, based on their attendance in our programs

Resilience is the set of individual skills and environments of support that buffer the negative effects of adverse experiences in our students’ lives. Annually, we measure these factors through a dedicated student resilience survey. The survey was not administered this past year due to COVID-19. The previous two full-years of study, however, demonstrated some promising results:

YEAR 1: Students who regularly attended the afterschool program showed increases in individual resilience.

YEAR 2: An increase in student resilience through the afterschool program also resulted in an increase in academic outcomes for those students.

Year 5: We have come to learn that students who attended our afterschool and summer programs previously, maintained and/or sprung back very quickly to pre‐pandemic SEL and resilience‐based levels compared to students who had not attended and/or regularly attended program previously. Afterschool supports led to higher levels of self‐value directly, and also indirectly through increasing trust, problem solving, and goals

We will continue to administer the resilience survey in coming school year.

No family wellness classes were offered this past year due to COVID-based disruptions. Partnerships with medical and health providers were also limited. We have plans to bring it back in the upcoming school year.
