What is the Elementary School OST Network?

The Elementary School Out-of-School Time Network brings together Cambridge out-of-school time providers, schools, families, and community partners who work together to provide equitable access to quality learning experiences for JK-5 children. In this process, we will address biases, barriers, and inequities that affect families. The network will collectively share promising practices and develop strategies and systems that will provide all students with an equal chance at success. We prioritize family voices and lead with our Seven Guiding Principles.
