Outreach to Schools: Tools for Afterschool Programs

Picture
Afterschool programs are essential to meet Hawai‘i's students' needs. In this COVID-19 crisis, principals will be primary decision-makers in how they reopen schools and how they work with their afterschool partners. Collaboration between out-of-school time and in-school time is even more important now as inequities are likely worsening and families return to work. Use the tools below to ensure your afterschool programs are at the planning table and included in your school's reopening strategy. 
Guidance and Resources on Reopening Schools
  • Hawai‘i Department of Education - Return to Learn: School Reopening Plan ​
    • Health Guidelines
    • Health and Safety Handbook (Version 7 - Sept. 25th)
    • ​Guidance Document
  • CDC Guidance
  • American Academy of Pediatrics Guidance for School Re-entry 
  • ​HAA's COVID-19 Resource Page​​
