Ukrainian After School Program
CLASS TIMES:

This off-site program was started this year to support the many children who have come into the Tri-Cities in the past year. Students meet for homework help, language acquisition practice, and fun twice a week. Staff also offer tutoring to students who need it.
Ready for Kindergarten! Workshops
Three times each year B5 partners with KSD and the Reading Foundation to provide parents of children ages 0 to 5 age-appropriate workshops in simple English. These workshops give parents the training and tools that help them be their child’s first teacher, able to help their child be successful when they enter kindergarten.
