They can fit about thirty students in here and have room to expand if needed."

Alunson henry, assisting on-site learning program: "we want to make the feel of it as close to school as possible, so we're providing care from 7 until the normal school hours."

Right now the program is scheduled for august 17th through october 29th...but henry says it's prepared to be open for longer alunson henry, assisting on-site learning program: "we want to make sure we are providing a service to the community so if it's something they end up closing down and having virtual throughout the semester, the rest of the school year we want to be there for them so we are looking to extend it as long as the service is needed.
