Bonus Sessions
Bonus sessions are a great way to hold additional Saturday school sessions throughout the year. Ask your ECS support team about available bonus sessions dates for your site.
Student Recruitment
Principals, teachers and support staff should actively promote the program throughout the week, and encourage students who have absences to recover to attend Saturday School.
Student to Teacher Ratios
Maximize operation expenses by staffing each session appropriately. School sites should strive for a 25-1 student to teacher ratio on Saturday.
Counselor Calls
Many of our most successful school sites make an effort to call the parents / guardians of those students who are chronically absent and invite them to attend the Saturday school program.
Reschedule Caceled Sessions
In the event a Saturday sessions needs to be canceled, contact your ECS support team and reschedule for another date.
Morning Announcements
Remind students about upcoming Saturday sessions, and create additional program awareness through morning announcements.
Banners
Display program awareness banners throughout campus. Ask you ECS support more about creating banners for your site.
