Learning Beyond the Bell (LBB)

Every child learns.
No exceptions. No excuses.

Mission: To offer a free, safe, enriching and supervised environment for Lewisville ISD students in grades 3-8, in which students develop academic competency and confidence, higher-level thinking skills and problem-solving, creativity, individual growth through hands-on experiences, peer interaction, and positive adult relationships.

Purpose: To provide after-school learning opportunities beyond the regular school day. The program focuses on helping children in high-need schools succeed academically through the use of scientifically based learning time. LBB is a powerful program that enhances and complements the regular school day, rather than duplicating or imitating classroom instruction.

Goals:

Provide opportunities for academic enrichment, including providing tutorial services to help children, particularly students who attend low-performing schools, and meet State and local student academic achievement standard in core academic subjects, such as reading, mathematics, and science.

Provide academic activities for students, aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), including a broad array of services, programs and activities, designed to reinforce and complement the regular school day academic program.

Provide students enrichment programs and activities, such as youth development activities, drug and violence prevention programs, counseling programs, art, music, physical education/fitness programs, and technology education programs that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program.

** LBB was originally made possible with grant funds from the Texas Education Agency's 21st Century Community Learning Center competitive grant program.
