Safe BASE Program BookSafe BASE 2008 summer schedule A message from the Program Coordinator Meet our Staff and view the Parents and Youth pages for more information on programs, resources, and links. Safe BASE Afterschool Programs provide a safe, caring and nurturing place for extended learning, social, recreational, and personal life skills development for students during non-school hours. Safe BASE extends, expands and enriches the opportunities for experiential learning, social development and recreation. It incorporates a strong partnership of school, family, and community members that collaboratively contribute to the growth of students as they mature into caring, competent and responsible adults. An integral part of our curriculum is the Navigate program. It is a holistic approach in teaching social skills to children. Part of the program includes teacher directed lessons; at other times it will be “in the moment”. We will be using nationally recognized curriculum such as Don’t Laugh at Me, Adventures in Peacemaking, and the Bully Free Classroom. Our guiding principle is helping children Navigate through life! Part of this collaboration includes Missouri State University and the Institute of School Improvement . You will be asked during the course of the year to complete several surveys regarding our Navigate program. Please take the time to complete these surveys as they will help our program grow professionally. Let me be the first to welcome you to Safe BASE! Sincerely, |
