EBAYC Learning Hubs Opening at UPA on Feb. 22nd
UPA is partnering with EBAYC to provide in-person support for students during distance learning. This means that some students will be invited to come to UPA campus every day for support. Students will still be engaging in Zoom classes with teachers while on campus, participating in community building activities, outdoor time and support with independent reading and class work. We understand that many students need support during this time, but in order to keep the Hub safe we have to limit the program to serve 30 students total.
Families will be contacted over the next few weeks with invitations to join the Learning Pod. Students were selected based on individual student need. The following criteria were used to select students for the Learning Hubs:
In the beginning stages of learning to speak, read and write in English
Have been in the US for 3 or fewer years
Distance learning has been challenging due to technology access or lack of space for focused learning
Social-emotional needs
Students that have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)
We wish we could invite all students back to campus at this time, but it is not yet safe to do so. We must limit the number of students on campus at one time. Therefore, we must prioritize students based on their current need for support.
If you have any questions, please call Mr. Freddy Mesa at 510-219-0467.
