Right At School
Beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, Gowanda Central School District is partnering with Right At School to offer a comprehensive enrichment program for Pre-K through 4th grade students. This initiative provides a play-based curriculum that is carefully aligned with our district standards for academic achievement and student growth. By hiring highly qualified local staff, Right At School ensures that students remain engaged and active in a safe environment every day that school is in session.
The program is designed to meet the diverse needs of our families by offering flexible monthly scheduling for one to five days per week, as well as convenient drop-in care options. Each day includes a balanced mix of hands-on STEM projects, fitness activities, and team-building exercises, along with dedicated time for homework and nutritious snacks. This holistic approach fosters leadership development and community service, keeping student-athletes inspired until the 6:00 PM pick-up time.
