After School Enrichment Program
at Green Valley Elementary
Green Valley ASE needs YOUR help!
The current parent volunteer who runs the after school enrichment program is "graduating" to Middle School! After 10 years at GV, our youngest is off to Los Cerros next year. This means I'm looking for someone to take over overseeing the after school programming at GV.
ASE is important! Each year, over 200 kids take part in an ASE activity. Our programming keeps kids active, learning and social after school (and off those screens!).
Overseeing ASE is easy! It takes just a few hours every few months. And you get to do it on your own time.
Interested? Email me at greenvalleyenrichment@gmail.com with any questions - and I can walk you through the program to see if its a fit for you. And I'll still be around next year to help you through the process.
And now onto our regularly scheduled programming......

WEDNESDAYS
MATHNASIUM
Mathnasium is your neighborhood math-only learning center dedicated to providing children with the strong math foundations they need to succeed in school and in life. At Mathnasium, we're committed to offering students of all grade levels a comprehensive, customized learning journey in mathematics. The journey begins with an in-depth assessment, reflecting each student's previous grade level, to pinpoint the unique learning gaps they may have encountered in the prior academic year. This crucial step helps us understand each student's individual needs, setting the stage for the personalized educational experience that follows.
Central to our approach is the development of a customized learning plan for each student, drawn from our proprietary curriculum, which is expansive yet flexible. This curriculum not only aligns with national standards but is also adaptable to cater to each student's specific learning requirements and the educational goals they're striving for. Our skilled tutors are dedicated to guiding students through this customized plan with one-on-one support, offering detailed explanations, practical problem-solving, and in-depth exploration of concepts.
Throughout the semester, we maintain a dynamic learning process, continuously monitoring each student's progress and making necessary adjustments to their learning plans. This ensures that the instruction remains relevant, challenging, and effective, addressing each learner's evolving needs.
The semester concludes with a thorough post-assessment, which serves as a comparative tool to showcase the student's growth, achievements, and areas that may require continued focus. This reflective evaluation is instrumental in demonstrating how the customized learning plan, paired with our robust curriculum and dedicated instruction, has contributed to the student's improved mathematical proficiency. It also ensures that each Mathnasium student is well-prepared and confident to embrace the mathematical challenges of their forthcoming grade level
● First session will involve a written assessment and a Math based activity. The details of the assessment will be emailed to the parents
