ExCEL (Before & After School)

The mission of Expanded Collaboratives for Excellence in Learning (ExCEL) is to create and sustain “safe havens” at public schools where students and community members can access expanded learning opportunities and integrated education, health, social service, and cultural programs in the out-of-school hours. The BACR mission is to promote healthy development of individuals, families and communities. BACR in partnership with ExCEL and DCYF is happy to announce that we are offering a program for incoming K–5th grade students. Our program offers a wide variety of activities including Academic Support, STEM, Art, Recreation, Soccer, Cooking, Dance and much more.

Morning Spanish Program

Manos is a local Spanish and Art studio for kids in the Outer Sunset, San Francisco. They strive to provide real-life, inquiry-based, art explorations in nature while learning Spanish. They have adopted a program for Lakeshore to bring that same ethos to build a morning Spanish program.  They strive to create a space where children can learn (Spanish) through experiences while fostering their curiosity and independence.

Manos’ Spanish program features a heavy emphasis on oral comprehension for younger students – classes are conducted primarily in Spanish using songs, visuals, art, and skits to help students to listen and watch for sounds and language structures. Older students will learn grammar and focus on vocabulary as they build practical conversational skills. As they progress, students will learn sentences in the past, present, and future tenses. The program can be adapted to meet the needs of individual students and can provide a variety of in-class experiences for different age levels.

Manos runs from 8/28/23 to 5/31/24; 8-9:10am. You can choose 2-day (Wed and Fri) or 5-day option. If you have further questions please contact Edurne Diaz (edurnediaz@gmail.com | 415-595-5130) or visit their website.

Afternoon Mandarin Program (AMP)

Lakeshore’s Afternoon Mandarin Program offers classes until 5:15 pm daily. Designed for both English-speakers and Mandarin-speakers, students will gain exposure to one of the world’s most spoken languages. Students meet our teachers after dismissal in the garden for a short recess break. Then, during class, students experience Chinese language and culture through activities including writing, recitation, arts and crafts, singing, and poetry. AMP has 2 levels: Beginner (no experience required) and Intermediate/Advanced (for students with some speaking, listening, and writing skills). Program tuition is $725 (5 days/week) or $700 (4 days/week) per semester plus non-refundable $40 per semester materials fees and a one-time $50 registration fee for new students. Sibling discounts of $25/semester are available (applied to the youngest sibling) and AMP also accepts subsidized tuition support (e.g., through Children’s Council). For more information, please email amp@LakeshoreElementary.org or text/call program director Helen Chen at 415-385-9552.

After School Weekly Programs

The following programs are available once a week and run sessions that last about 2-3 months. The idea is that you don’t have to commit to them the entire school year, and also can let your child(ren) try different classes through out the year. We will post registration information for each new session through out the year on ParentSquare (Schoolwide Bulletin Board) and our weekly newsletter (Paw Print Press) as soon as we heard from our providers. This page may not be up to date for sessions that started after the beginning of the school year, but day and time will remain the same, fees can change slightly depending how many classes were offered in the session.

After School Art Club

Art Club is offered by local artist and our very own Lakeshore parent, Samuel Price, who has three children at Lakeshore. Sam and and his wife Leah have been operating their own art business for the past 20 years which has included teaching events and workshops, exhibitions, public art installations and festivals. The Art Club will explore the practice of art-making, which will help students develop creativity, self-expression, and cognitive and physical skills.
