It is our pleasure to announce that CREC's CHOICE program is starting a student support center in October of 2007. The center will help districts support the academic success of students placed in their schools. 

The center will accommodate 40-80 Choice and magnet middle and high school students (grades 6-12) who need support for academic or behavioral issues. 

The center will be located at the Coltsville facility at 34 Sequassen Street and will be open four days a week, Monday through Thursday, from 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Students will be bused to the center after school and directly home at the end of the day. The center will provide students with a daily snack.

We encourage school staff to start referring students that would benefit from support in math, literacy skills, or behavioral skills to the center. All middle/high school students who are repeating grades or failing should be referred to the center and will be given priority. This service is in addition to the support schools already provide.

We will continue to assess the resources we have allocated and continue to adjust and refine the program throughout the year. As always, your good ideas help us to improve our service to your districts and the students they serve.

School staff can contact us by email or complete the attached form and fax it to our office. Our fax number is 860-509-3653.
