Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen to offer learning hubs for middle-schoolers
Table of Contents
The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen will provide virtual learning hubs for middle school students, beginning Sept. 14 and continuing for eight weeks, through Nov. 6, to align with Henrico County Public Schools’ first nine weeks of off-site learning. Following their virtual learning time, students will participate in other learning and art enrichment activities.
CACGA will require physical distancing, hand washing, daily screening for symptoms, and face coverings over the nose and mouth for all students and adult participants who are inside the building.
Registration for the CACGA’s learning hub space is open online or at 804-261-ARTS. The fee is $100 per child per week.
The program may be extended through Dec. 30 if school openings are further delayed.
Virtual learning will begin at the time designated by the student’s home school. Groups of a maximum of 10-12 students will stay together with the same adult monitor throughout the school day and will not mix with other student groups.
At the end of the virtual school day, students will have the opportunity to participate in visual arts, performing arts, and outdoor activities. Activities may include drawing, painting, animation, theater, yoga and gardening, among others. Staff and supplies for the activities will be provided by the center.
Registered students may be dropped off between 7:15 a.m and 7:45 a.m. and must be picked up by 5:30 pm. Students will be required to bring lunch and snacks, a laptop, headset, and school supplies. Refrigerator space is available.
Students will be screened for symptoms upon arrival and throughout the day. If any students show symptoms at any time during the day, they will be isolated in a separate room and a parent or guardian will be contacted for pick-up.
