🎉 GREAT NEWS: REDS 365 is Back for 2025–2026! 🎉

After weeks of uncertainty, the federal funds for our REDS 365 after-school program have officially been released, and we are thrilled to move forward with offering this vital service to our students and families this school year!

REDS 365 provides a safe, structured, and supportive environment for students after school with academic help, enrichment activities, meals, and more. We’re grateful to be able to continue this work through June 2026 thanks to the restored 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Grant funding.

📝 Sign-up forms will go home in Monday folders on August 11 and will need to be returned by the following Monday, August 18. REDS 365 will start on Monday, August 25 for students in Pre-K through 5th grade.

Assistant Superintendent Melissa Knabe expressed, “We are excited to be able to offer REDS 365 for this school year. This program is important for our students, families, and community, and Director Eunice Wilson and the REDS 365 staff are ready to welcome students into the program for this year. We look forward to seeing everyone after school on August 25!”

We’re ready to hit the ground running—and we can’t wait to welcome students back to REDS 365 soon!
